# Virtualization tab — plan (2026-10-09; phase 1 built the same day)
**Status:** phases 1 and 2 are **deployed to all five machines as v0.1.0-196** (2026-10-11).
Incus runs on `grid` with **plain-files storage on its root disk** (`local`, see decision 1,
revised 2026-10-11 — the file-backed ZFS pool and the test VM are gone); the other machines
show Install or, on `gate`, unavailable. A **Disk location** picker is on both create forms,
with add/remove of locations. Phase 2 verified live on `grid` through the hub on 2026-10-09:
ISO fetched by URL with its sha256 checked, New VM from ISO booted Alpine with Secure Boot
off, the VGA console drew it in a real browser (headless Chromium; needed the `binary`
websocket subprotocol and one console operation per VM with a data websocket per SPICE
channel), a virtiofs mount appeared in a running VM, an export tarball landed and the nightly
cron line is written, `instance.*` sensors flow and the "VM or container down" alert default
is in. **Left:** the LAN bridge step (his call, needs him near the NanoKVM), cloud-init
presets beyond "Use my SSH keys", a backup line for `grid`'s `virt/exports/`.
**Status:** phases 1 and 2 are **deployed to all five machines as v0.1.0-196**. **No machine
has Incus installed as of 2026-10-11**: `grid`'s install of 2026-10-09 was removed at
Mitchell's request so he can install it himself from the tab and ask questions along the way
(`hamlet/docs/hosts.md` has what was removed and what the two days established). The tab
shows Install on `grid`, `core`, the Mac mini and `hamtv`, unavailable on `gate`. Both create
forms carry a **Disk location** picker with add/remove of locations; instance storage as
plain files on the machine's own disk is what he wants on `grid`. Everything in phase 2 was
verified live on `grid` before the removal: ISO fetch with checksum, New VM from ISO, the VGA
console in a real browser (headless Chromium; `binary` subprotocol, one console operation per
VM with a data websocket per SPICE channel), a virtiofs mount into a running VM, exports and
their cron line, `instance.*` sensors and the alert default. **Left:** the LAN bridge step
(his call), cloud-init presets beyond "Use my SSH keys", a backup line for `virt/exports/`.
A tab for creating, watching, consoling into and deleting **LXC containers and KVM virtual
machines**, the way Proxmox does with `pct` and `qm` — **per machine, like every other
