Incus is a modern, secure and powerful system container and virtual machine manager.

It provides a unified experience for running and managing full Linux systems inside containers or virtual machines. Incus supports images for a large number of Linux distributions (official Ubuntu images and images provided by the community) and is built around a very powerful, yet pretty simple, REST API. Incus scales from one instance on a single machine to a cluster in a full data center rack, making it suitable for running workloads both for development and in production.

This package provides the following commands:

• fuidshift - tool to remap a filesystem tree, switching it from one set of UID/GID ranges to another

• generate-config - tool to generate documentation for Incus

• generate-database - entry point for all go:generate directives used in Incus' source code

• incus - command line client for Incus

• incus-agent - Incus virtual machine agent

• incus-benchmark - tool to benchmark various actions on a local Incus daemon

• incusd - the Incus daemon

• incus-migrate - physical to instance migration tool

• incus-simplestreams - tool to manage the files on a static image server using simplestreams index files as the publishing mechanism

• incus-user - Incus user project daemon

• lxc-to-incus - CLI client for container migration

• lxd-to-incus - LXD to Incus migration tool

• mini-oidc

• sysinfo - basic system stats tool

• tls2jwt - TLS to JWT certificate convertor, reference/testing tool

LXCFS is a small FUSE file system written with the intention of making Linux containers feel more like a virtual machine. It started as a side project of LXC but can be used by any run-time.

This plugin creates an Ansible inventory file containing the created virtual machines and the respective ssh-parameters.

This package provides a GTK+ support for open-vm-tools.

The RISC-V Proxy Kernel, pk, is a lightweight application execution environment that can host statically-linked RISC-V ELF binaries. It is designed to support tethered RISC-V implementations with limited I/O capability and thus handles I/O-related system calls by proxying them to a host computer.

This package also contains the Berkeley Boot Loader, bbl, which is a supervisor execution environment for tethered RISC-V systems. It is designed to host the RISC-V Linux port.

Using this tool, you can freeze a running application (or part of it) and checkpoint it to a hard drive as a collection of files. You can then use the files to restore and run the application from the point it was frozen at. The distinctive feature of the CRIU project is that it is mainly implemented in user space.

open-vm-tools is a set of services and modules that enable several features in VMware products for better management of, and seamless user interactions with, guests.

open-vm-tools enables the following features in VMware products:

• The ability to perform virtual machine power operations gracefully.

• Execution of VMware provided or user configured scripts in guests during various power operations.

• The ability to run programs, commands and file system operation in guests to enhance guest automation.

• Authentication for guest operations.

• Periodic collection of network, disk, and memory usage information from the guest.

• Generation of heartbeat from guests to hosts so VMware's HA solution can determine guests' availability.

• Clock synchronization between guests and hosts or client desktops.

• Quiescing guest file systems to allow hosts to capture file-system-consistent guest snapshots.

• Execution of pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts while quiescing guest file systems.

• The ability to customize guest operating systems immediately after powering on virtual machines.

• Enabling shared folders between host and guest file systems on VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion.

• Copying and pasting text, graphics, and files between guests and hosts or client desktops.

emu.qmp is a QEMU Monitor Protocol (QMP) library written in Python. It is used to send QMP messages to running QEMU emulators. It can be used to communicate with QEMU emulators, the QEMU Guest Agent (QGA), the QEMU Storage Daemon (QSD), or any other utility or application that speaks QMP.

vagrant-spec is a both a specification of how Vagrant and its various components should behave as well as a library of testing helpers that let you write your own unit and acceptance tests for Vagrant.

libguestfs is a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine (VM) disk images. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests, scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, creating guests, P2V, V2V, performing backups, cloning VMs, building VMs, formatting disks, resizing disks, and much more.

Bubblewrap is aimed at running applications in a sandbox, restricting their access to parts of the operating system or user data such as the home directory. Bubblewrap always creates a new mount namespace, and the user can specify exactly what parts of the file system should be made visible in the sandbox. These directories are mounted with the nodev option by default and can be made read-only.

Bochs is a highly portable IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Bochs can be compiled to emulate many different x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86-64 Intel and AMD processors. Bochs is capable of running most operating systems inside the emulation including GNU/Linux, DOS or Microsoft Windows.

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers.

Vagrant is the command line utility for managing the lifecycle of virtual machines. Isolate dependencies and their configuration within a single disposable and consistent environment.

Note: Make sure to have ssh and rsync installed — if you use the respective Vagrant functions. This package does not link to any specific implementation of these to allow different clients and to avoid configuration conflicts when running on a `foreign distribution'.

umoci is a tool that allows for high-level modification of an Open Container Initiative (OCI) image layout and its tagged images.

This Vagrant plugin enables reloading a Vagrant VM as a provisioning step.

runc is a command line client for running applications packaged according to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format and is a compliant implementation of the Open Container Initiative specification.

qmpbackup is designed to create and restore full and incremental backups of running QEMU virtual machines via QMP, the QEMU Machine Protocol.

Spike, the RISC-V ISA Simulator, implements a functional model of one or more RISC-V harts.

libosinfo is a GObject based library API for managing information about operating systems, hypervisors and the (virtual) hardware devices they can support. It includes a database containing device metadata and provides APIs to match/identify optimal devices for deploying an operating system on a hypervisor. Via GObject Introspection, the API is available in all common programming languages. Vala bindings are also provided.

Python-vagrant is a Python module that provides a thin wrapper around the vagrant command line executable, allowing programmatic control of Vagrant virtual machines.

libguestfs is a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine (VM) disk images. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests, scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, creating guests, P2V, V2V, performing backups, cloning VMs, building VMs, formatting disks, resizing disks, and much more.

This package provides a Vagrant plugin that helps you reduce the amount of coffee you drink while waiting for boxes to be provisioned by sharing a common package cache among similar VM instances. Kinda like vagrant-apt_cache or this magical snippet but targeting multiple package managers and Linux distros.

This package contains a set of tools to assist administrators and developers in managing the database.
