Hello,
The issue with using the lxd-to-incus migration program is that it requires the lxd server to run in
order to work. If I install incus via pacman and then try to migrate, I get:
# lxd-to-incus
=> Looking for source server
==> Detected: manual installation
=> Looking for target server
Error: No target server could be found
This message is expected, because the target server (lxd) was uninstalled by pacman during the
installation of incus.
In comparison, on a Debian box, 'apt-get install incus' installs Incus in parallel to lxd and the
subsequent migration program works fine.
Best,
