@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensthis is the default setup when using the zabbly packages, and probably on other distros. i carried our setup forward from lxd, but it finally annoyed me enough to implement it as an option19:39:06
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenspersonally i would rather the instances stay up when something triggers the incus service to require a restart. for example, any package dependencies initiating a rebuild will do so.19:40:07
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi run unstable everywhere right now, so it's a bit painful to take an outage of 11 instances just to do updates on the host :)19:45:27
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens * i run unstable everywhere right now, so it's a bit painful to frequently take an outage of 11 instances just to do updates on the host :)19:47:57
@rungmc:matrix.orgrungmcSame. I also ran LXD/Incus on Debian for a while before going all-in on NixOS, so I think you just cleared up a big disconnect for me.19:48:00
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi could probably be convinced to make this the default. technically there's some minor loss of reproducibility, but maybe it's really not a problem19:49:09
@rungmc:matrix.orgrungmcIt's probably fine. I would imagine there's a limit to how reproducible Incus can really be without encroaching on its features. I have no idea how you'd ever set it up so you could define an instance in Nix and make that work with clustering, for example.19:53:51
@rungmc:matrix.orgrungmcUsing a NixOS container image and having the flexibility to just lift and shift between servers is good enough for me.19:57:22
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensyeah i sometimes overthink these things :)20:13:07
@rungmc:matrix.orgrungmcSpeaking of overthinking things, Openwrt on Incus on NixOS works brilliantly. The devices I was working with are still terrible but at least I verified that their version of hostapd is huge improvement 😉20:18:40

@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens one thing i've long wanted is a way to nix copy into an instancwe 19:34:41
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens * one thing i've long wanted is a way to nix copy into an instance 19:34:42
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephense.g. `nix copy .#default --to incus://myinstance19:35:34
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens * e.g. `nix copy .#default --to incus://myinstance` 19:35:37
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenselement why, just why are you so dumb19:35:51

@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens hexa: is your incus poc(?) still going on? 18:33:27
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensI'm curious if you use the web UI18:33:37
@hexa:lossy.networkhexayeah, I've dabbled a bit with the web ui18:35:14
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut I'm reworking the deployment currently, so not accessible18:35:25
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenssomeone on discord was asking if there's an alternative to loading certs into the browser for the web ui, but i've never used it.18:37:08
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenstechnically i have it installed on my dev VM, but...18:37:21
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenshave you tried the incus OIDC support?18:37:38
@hexa:lossy.networkhexanot yet, no19:02:42
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaSSO is kinda planned for after the Incus POC 😄19:02:56
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensmakes sense19:07:36

@hexa:lossy.networkhexatl;dr: cli improvements11:29:58
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi'm happy we use git instead of the tarballs. since apparently when they build the tarballs they're in a directory incus-6.1, while the tag is 6.1.011:40:55
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawelp 😄 11:50:46
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathe recent django releases were done by a windows person, and all files have been published with CRLF line endings11:51:16
