As mentioned, this isn't my fork, it's a fork made by Aleksa who's been the long time LXD packager for OpenSUSE as well as someone very involved within the container space, both userspace (runc, umoci, containerd, ...) and in the Linux kernel space. The actual fork is at: https://github.com/cyphar/incus/ I've just been helping out getting it to actually be functional and providing a bit of a laundry list of things I'd do differently should I be starting LXD from scratch now, which a fork like this now makes possible.
In Canonical LXD forked by former project leader stgraber
