Title: LXD to lose access for its image server Author: Joonas Niilola Posted: 2023-12-28 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: app-containers/lxd Earlier this year Canonical took their LXD project from community-hosted LinuxContainers under Canonical's own management. While doing so, they removed management access from non-Canonical employees, along with other things. This caused LXD to be forked and so Incus was born. Incus would pull updates from upstream LXD to stay compatible. Recently LXD was re-licensed so Incus can't benefit from its code anymore. Therefore Incus will become a truly independent project. However it is LinuxContainers community that still hosts most LXD images for free, for Incus and LXD. With them unable to benefit or use LXD anymore, LinuxContainers have decided to stop building and hosting LXD images. They will start limiting access immediately in 2024 for non-LTS users which is LXD >=3D5.18, or "unstable" in Gentoo. LTS LXD, or= "stable" (5.0) in Gentoo will be allowed to pull images until May (an estimate), or until Incus LTS will be released. Times are subject to change. What can you do? =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 1: Switch to Incus. 2: Deploy your own image server. 3: Wait and see what Canonical does. For unstable users the matter is rather urgent, while stable users have the luxury of waiting. Note that a downgrade from unstable to stable is not possible due to database schemas. Please follow or take a look at Gentoo bug #920527 with more information about this situation, and updates e.g. for timetables. --------------0UDgCeUYh1tdWJjyzbyKN43x-- --------------OAqLQrBCXIr08401dDrtF0UX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="OpenPGP_signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="OpenPGP_signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGTBAEBCgB9FiEEltRJ9L6XRmDQCngHc4OUK43AaWIFAmWJw41fFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDk2 RDQ0OUY0QkU5NzQ2NjBEMDBBNzgwNzczODM5NDJCOERDMDY5NjIACgkQc4OUK43A aWLcUggAg109/b7ocu/YdQHEpLvBMZ4G4XlHQQ3EaGNxZ4Si8eCrQ+h16QbBPMdk 8XC1pcKhnt7dXLgFfvGgmxAxfPcStp980xAg/ugP9JC98goQ+5GPDzw34fXh7KWD BveOXt6Dbtl1ydKyorwVSKZVWVUuDjDj9lCOwROJ2Y9MzjcT6cail3CY8ibR3YPe /yUqVLEu5JYy10T2+igaeZfxWnT8Ovhy6XJ3dCSOHbie9+9Pj9OrX2rKAc3xWdbr XwOI9eipx5HObUaG2HBcXWgLay55+hoa52ppTBMB77yNXyHnZldfLmdOatY56q7j BoBED4EsnDvCORFVPkTohx2lfKT+eg== =pNIY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------OAqLQrBCXIr08401dDrtF0UX--
