I discovered Incus and IncusOS recently, and they seem like a very cool foundation for a self-hosted setup.
I’m thinking of using them with incus-compose to declare my setup.
Does anybody use them? I’d love to get some feedback. Are they stable and polished yet, or are there still a lot of sharp edges?
They mention “designed for modern systems” on their website. Are there any issues running it on a roughly 10-year-old laptop?



I didn’t follow the instructions carefully enough and the installer bricked a motherboard by incorrectly enrolling secure boot keys. The board doesn’t have dual bios or a way to flash without POST, the SPI has to be removed, flashed, and resoldered, which surprised me that gigabyte would not have a recovery plan in place across all their boards but that’s my fault for not checking what I bought.
TLDR: read the instructions in their guide carefully. You can brick a board with this.
