1 Answers
SSH2incus is an SSH server that bridges SSH connections directly to Incus containers and VMs. It runs on the Incus host and routes incoming SSH connections to instances via the Incus API—no need for SSH servers inside instances.
Key Features:
- On-demand instance creation using SSH login syntax (
+instance+ubuntu/24.04+m4+c2@host) - Multiple authentication methods (public key, password, instance-based)
- Full terminal support with persistent sessions (tmux/screen)
- File transfer via SCP and SFTP
- Port forwarding (local, reverse, dynamic)
- Profile-based configuration with template defaults
- Web UI (v0.9+) for graphical instance management
