Getting IP address for LXD/Incus for ssh (lemmy.world)

Does anyone here use LXD/Incus? What do you do if you want to find the IP address of an instance, but incus list does not give you one? I am not sure what would be stopping one from being issued since that is how I have found that information before.

I am just a student trying to learn about them and do stuff. I often just find the IP of the container and then ssh in as that feels natural, but perhaps I am cutting against the grain here.

You can run full GUI apps inside LXC containers and have X11 deal with the rest. Guides here and here.

Thanks! I’ve come across many of Simos’ posts while getting up to speed on LXD. I had previously ended up settling on using the forgotten xdmcp to establish and manage the connections. My next go around will probably use a different approach that is more secure.

My use case for code-server is that I can then access the IDE from any computer allowing me greater flexibility of the device that I code on.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
