## Fork of Canonical LXD
Incus, which is named after the [Cumulonimbus incus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulonimbus_incus) or anvil cloud is a community fork of Canonical's LXD.
## Project history
Incus, which is named after the [Cumulonimbus incus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulonimbus_incus) or anvil cloud
started as community fork of Canonical's LXD following [Canonical's takeover](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/) of the LXD project from the
Linux Containers community.

This fork was made in response to [Canonical's takeover](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/) of the LXD project from the Linux Containers community.
The project was then adopted by the Linux Containers community, taking back the spot left empty by LXD's departure.

The main aim of this fork is to provide once again a real community project where everyone's contributions are welcome and no one single commercial entity is in charge of the project.
Nowadays, Incus is being maintained by the same team of developers that first created LXD at Canonical.

A migration tool called `lxd-to-incus` is provided to aid with migrating an existing LXD environment over to Incus.
LXD users wishing to migrate to Incus can easily do so through a migration tool called `lxd-to-incus`.
