Incus是lxd变成Canonical公司控制的项目后,社区决定重开的分支项目,完全由社区驱动。
其目的是欢迎所有作者对项目做出贡献并且不希望商业实体控制该项目,目前lxd的5.16版本与incus保持一致,但之后就不保证兼容,会修正lxd的一些设计。
毕竟和lxd同源,lxd的一些新特性incus也会跟进开发,除非这些特性是专为Ubuntu或者Canonical公司的其他产品专用的。
挺好的,避免了以后想用什么lxd的新功能必须安装ubuntu系统的局限,社区驱动也更加自由。
Incus, which is named after the Cumulonimbus incus or anvil cloud is a community fork of Canonical's LXD.
This fork was made in response to Canonical's takeover of the LXD project from the Linux Containers community.
The main aim of this fork is to provide once again a real community project where everyone's contributions are welcome and no one single commercial entity is in charge of the project.
The fork was done at the LXD 5.16 release, making it possible to upgrade from LXD releases up to and including LXD 5.16. Upgrading from a later LXD release may not work as the two projects are likely to start diverging from this point onwards.
Incus will keep monitoring and importing relevant changes from LXD over time though changes and features that are specific to Ubuntu or Canonical's products are unlikely to be carried over.
lxd, snap, ubuntu bye bye
