Hi, I'm using LXD on Archlinux and want to migrate to Incus (https://linuxcontainers.org/incus). According to the Incus docs this is as simple as installing Incus alongside LXD and then calling the migration program lxd-to-incus, see https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/howto/server_migrate_lxd. However, when executing 'pacman -S incus', I get the message 'incus and lxd are in conflict. Remove lxd?'. So it looks like the migration program lxd-to-incus will not work under Archlinux because one cannot install both packages in parallel. What the proper way of migrating from LXD to Incus under Archlinux? All the best, Bernd
Hello, I am yet to migrate to incus, however the lxd-to-incus tool is provided by the incus package [1], and thus should still work as it seems to migrate itself (lxd is just a frontend after all). Let incus replace lxd, run the tool, and it should work just fine. If not, post the error and the log here so that you can be helped further.
What the proper way of migrating from LXD to Incus under Archlinux?
Seen as incus is relatively new, there is no wiki article on it, and thus, there is no "proper" way currently, but in general if the solution provided by upstream works, why change it? It goes without saying but you might want to backup before you attempt this.
