Incus: How to Add the Incus Agent to Vyos

Adding the Incus Agent to Vyos Stream 1.5-2025-Q2 is relatively simple.

Note that this did not work for me with 1.4.3 LTS.

First, let’s add the Incus Agent media as a CDROM media to our Vyos instance.

  incus config device add INSTANCE_NAME agent disk source=agent:config

Then once you’ve consoled into the instance, just run the following commands to install it.

The key for me was to add the uid,gid to the mount as otherwise you’d get a Permission Denied when trying to enter the mount path from the OS.

  sudo mkdir -p /media/cdrom
  sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g) /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
  sudo /media/cdrom/install.sh

Once installed, reboot. When the system comes back, you can check it’s status by running sudo systemctl status incus-agent
