They recently released version 6.23 with official support for FreeBSD 14 and 15 guests. That means that you can now launch FreeBSD VMs in an Incus cluster with a single command: $ incus launch images:freebsd/14.4 freebsd-14-vm -c security.secureboot=false --vm Launching freebsd-14-vm They also ported their incus-agent so now it works on FreeBSD guests. It allows you to use the Incus client to access the VM, copy files and etc: $ incus shell freebsd-14-vm root@freebsd-14-vm:~ # uname -a FreeBSD freebsd-14-vm 14.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE releng/14.4-n273675-a456f852d145 GENERIC amd64 They are still building the new images with an embedded agent (I built and copied it to the VM myself for the example), so it may take a few days. Without the agent you can access the VM with: $ incus console freebsd-14-vm This is the announcement: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/incus-6-23-has-been-released/26447#p-89931-freebsd-vm-support-6 There is a Github issue to track the support for FreeBSD: https://github.com/lxc/incus/issues/3069 I just pushed sysutils/incus-client to the Ports tree. You can use it to manage Incus servers from FreeBSD. This is how you configure the server and the client: https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/howto/server_expose/#server-expose Check it out :)
