IncusOS, released is a lightweight Linux distribution built on Debian 13 with a focus on security, reliability, and reproducibility. It implements atomic A/B updates for safe rollbacks, UEFI Secure Boot, TPM 2.0 integration, and full-disk encryption to ensure a trusted boot process and data protection.

The system departs from traditional management models by eliminating shell access entirely. Administration occurs exclusively through authenticated APIs using TLS client certificates or OIDC. This design enforces consistency and limits attack surfaces across server fleets and virtualized environments.

IncusOS supports an online image customizer and a fully automated installation process, applying configuration at first boot. Hardware requirements align with modern systems such as Windows 11. Future updates will deliver new kernel versions, expanded configuration options, and integrations with tools like Linstor and Netbird.

By standardizing deployment and management through uniform images, IncusOS simplifies auditing, maintenance, and support for organizations operating large or distributed infrastructures.
