# incu-contrib
Peripheral tools, snippets, and scripts for working with [Incus](https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/),
[IncusOS](https://linuxcontainers.org/incus-os/), and the broader ecosystem.
Primarily aimed at home lab environments but useful in production as well.
## Contents
### [`incusos/`](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.
See [`incusos/README.md`](incusos/README.md) for full documentation.
### [`notes/`](notes/)
Research notes and reference material.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Install the flasher-tool (requires Go 1.21+)
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 1.21+** -- for installing the flasher-tool
- **curl** -- for downloading images from the CDN
- **tar**, **gzip** -- for seed archive creation and image decompression
- **mtools** (optional) -- for creating FAT seed images
- **incus** (optional) -- for automatic client certificate detection
