Hosting

Incus-based hosting services

Zabbly currently operates two production Incus clusters and offers a variety of services on top of those.

Incus hosting

A resource-limited Incus project on our clusters. There are two environments, production-grade DCMTL and fast, cheaper SHF. VMs, virtual networks, dual-stack IP.

GitHub Actions runners

Extra runners on AMD EPYC, booting a clean Incus base image rather than GitHub's bloated one. Test your software across a wider range of distros.

Online demo service

A hosted “try-it-live” for your project. Shell sessions, a web service, or both, rebuilt daily from your own script. The same setup that powers the Incus demo.

Online ordering coming soon.

Hosted services

GitHub self-hosted runners

Self-hosted GitHub Actions runners for public or private projects, running on an Incus cluster. Runners can boot any of the Incus cloud images, on both x86_64 and aarch64*.

* Limited resource availability.

How it differs from GitHub

Resources you choose

Pick the exact CPU, memory and disk available to each runner, rather than fitting into a handful of fixed sizes.

A clean base image

Boot any clean Incus cloud image instead of GitHub’s bloated Ubuntu-based image, which also makes it easy to test across distributions.

Or bring your own

Customer provided images can also be used for a fee.

About

Stéphane Graber

Owner

Stéphane Graber is the project leader for Linux Containers and mostly focuses on the Incus container and VM manager. He's been working on container technology for about 15 years, and is known for running the Containers micro-conference at the Linux Plumbers Conference, as well as the containers and kernel devrooms at FOSDEM.

In his spare time, he is also the VP of Infrastructure for NorthSec, a non-profit running a yearly cybersecurity conference and capture-the-flag (CTF) event in Montreal, featuring a rather crazy infrastructure running hundreds of virtual machines and thousands of containers to provide challenges to hundreds of contestants.

He created Zabbly in July 2023 to provide consulting services related to the Linux Containers projects.
