Maarten 52d8dbdc89 OC v0.3.0 comprehensive test: retry logic, auto-heal, apply_defaults validation
Phase 0-10 of OC test plan completed:
- Add --retries N flag to incusos-proxmox (default 3, configurable boot retries)
- Add fix_scrub_schedule() auto-heal for IncusOS crontab bug via REST API
- Validate apply_defaults: false for OC-managed nodes (recommended approach)
- Test full OC lifecycle: deploy, provision, cluster, workloads, migration,
  evacuation, node failure/recovery, inventory query, REST API
- Update CLAUDE.md: OC v0.3.0 commands, --retries, scrub fix, node recovery
- Update operations-center-guide.md: v0.3.0, apply_defaults, scrub fix,
  node failure simulation, IncusOS REST API docs, inventory query

Key findings:
- apply_defaults: false lets OC Terraform handle everything cleanly
- fix_scrub_schedule() proactively heals ~50% crontab boot failure
- OC does not detect node failures (always shows "ready")
- inventory query (v0.3.0) provides cross-resource tree views
- Node crash recovery: auto-rejoin in ~60s, containers auto-start

incu-contrib

Peripheral tools, snippets, and scripts for working with Incus, IncusOS, and the broader ecosystem.

Primarily aimed at home lab environments but useful in production as well.

Contents

incusos/

Scripts for building IncusOS installation media and seed configurations:

  • incusos-iso -- Build customized IncusOS ISO/IMG images using the official flasher-tool. Supports both architectures (x86_64, aarch64), multiple applications (Incus, Operations Center), automatic client certificate injection, and batch generation.

  • incusos-seed -- Generate IncusOS seed archives (tar or FAT image) for installation customization. Covers all seed file types: install, applications, Incus preseed, Operations Center, network, and update configuration.

  • incusos-proxmox -- Declarative IncusOS deployment on Proxmox VE. Define VMs in YAML, and the script handles seed generation, ISO upload, VM creation with correct settings (UEFI, TPM 2.0, VirtIO-SCSI), and automated installation.

See incusos/README.md for full documentation.

Research notes and reference material:

Quick Start

# Install the flasher-tool (requires Go 1.22+)
go install github.com/lxc/incus-os/incus-osd/cmd/flasher-tool@latest

# Build a default IncusOS ISO with your client cert injected
./incusos/incusos-iso

# Build for a specific architecture and application
./incusos/incusos-iso --arch aarch64 --app operations-center --defaults

# Generate all common ISO variants at once
./incusos/incusos-iso --batch

# Generate a standalone seed archive
./incusos/incusos-seed --app incus --defaults --output my-seed.tar

# Generate a SEED_DATA FAT image for external boot media
./incusos/incusos-seed --format fat --app incus --defaults --output seed.img

Requirements

  • Go 1.22+ -- for installing the flasher-tool
  • curl -- for downloading images from the CDN
  • tar, gzip -- for seed archive creation and image decompression
  • Incus client (recommended) -- for automatic client certificate detection. Works with any version; certificates are read directly from disk. See version compatibility notes for install instructions per platform (macOS, Debian/Ubuntu, Arch).
  • mtools (optional) -- for creating FAT seed images
