Maarten a0a4b48c73 Implement end-to-end IncusOS Proxmox deployment via API Major changes to incusos-proxmox and incusos-seed to achieve fully automated IncusOS deployment to Proxmox VE. Fixes multiple blockers discovered during testing: FAT→ISO 9660 seed format (CD-ROM label detection), preseed YAML structure (Go yaml:",inline"), disk target auto-detection, install completion monitoring via blockstat disk I/O, install media ejection, and ARP-based IP detection for the agent-less IncusOS. Key changes: - incusos-seed: add --format iso using genisoimage, fix preseed structure - incusos-proxmox: ISO seeds, blockstat install detection, media ejection, ARP-based IP lookup, force_reboot requirement - Documentation: comprehensive updates to CLAUDE.md, README.md, TESTING.md - Examples: fix preseed.certificates path in all YAML examples - Notes: full session progress with all bugs found and fixed Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>		2026-02-19 15:26:58 +01:00

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.

`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.

`notes/`

Research notes and reference material:

incus-version-compatibility.md -- Incus package versions across platforms (macOS, Debian/Ubuntu, Arch), install instructions, and certificate management notes.
iso-download-methods.md -- Original research on ISO download/customization approaches.

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
