Another day, another migration.

Steps

doas apk add incus incus-client incus-conversion

# Add myself to the incus admin group
doas adduser chimo incus

# Logout of all sessions, log back in, ensure we're in the "incus" group
groups

# Start, and enable the incuds service at boot
doas service incusd start
doas rc-update add incusd

# Check that incus is responding
incus info

# Check that lxd is responding
