Supported systems
The install command checks the system before it changes anything, and refuses one that is not in this table.
| System | Status | Incus from |
|---|---|---|
| Ubuntu 26.04 LTS | Recommended | Zabbly’s repository |
| Ubuntu 24.04 LTS | Recommended | Zabbly’s repository |
| Debian 13 | Supported | Zabbly’s repository |
| Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | Supported until 30 April 2027 | Zabbly’s repository |
The distributions’ own Incus packages are the 6.0 LTS line, which cannot pull the container images Ramphast uses, so the installer adds Zabbly’s repository, signed with a key it checks.
Other requirements
Section titled “Other requirements”- Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) or aarch64 (arm64).
- Storage: Incus keeps instances in a btrfs or ZFS pool. If the machine has none, the installer
creates a btrfs pool on 80% of the free space under
/var/lib, or the size you give when you register the server. - Rocky Linux, Fedora and the rest of the Red Hat family are not supported: they have no Incus package and no btrfs in their kernel.
