incusui-nix

Incus UI for Nix.

What is this?

Incus is available on nixos, but the Web UI is not Update. Now the web UI is also available. We can use the files here to build the Web UI.

How to use it

1. Place the contents of the incus-ui folder on this repository somewhere. We'll use /etc/nixos/incus-ui for an example.
2. In your configuration.nix file, add something the following at the top where you have your definitions.

let
incus-ui = (import /etc/nixos/incus-ui { inherit pkgs; });

For example, the beginning of my configuration.nix might look like this:

# Edit this configuration file to define what should be installed on
# your system. Help is available in the configuration.nix(5) man page
# and in the NixOS manual (accessible by running ‘nixos-help’).

{ config, pkgs, lib, modulesPath, ... }:

let
  incus-ui = (import /etc/nixos/incus-ui { inherit pkgs; });
  unstable = import <nixpkgs-unstable> { config = { allowUnfree = true; }; };
in
{
  imports =
    [
...

3. In your configuration.nix file, you need to add an environment variable to the incus systemd service to enable the UI. Do so like this:

 systemd.services = {
    incus = {
      serviceConfig = {
        Environment = "INCUS_UI=${incus-ui}/opt/incus/ui";
      };
    };
  };

4. Add incus-ui to your environment.systemPackages like the below example.

  # Environment Settings
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    vim
    git
    incus-ui
  ];

5. If you enabled accessing incus over the network when you ran incus admin init, after rebuilding your system, the UI should work. Navigate to https://{YOUR-IP}:8443 to get to it.
