- Incus is a modern system container and virtual machine manager.

- Security measures include keeping systems updated, restricting API access, and avoiding privileged containers.
- Local access to Incus via Unix socket grants full system control, requiring trusted user management.
- Community interaction channels include GitHub for issues and Linux Containers forum for support.
