Requirements and the substrate
kixctl needs one thing — a running Incus. It creates the storage, networks, and profiles it needs, and you never have to adopt NixOS.
Installing kixctl
There's no turnkey install yet — the appliance is the planned path, and today running kixctl means running it from source.
Your first deploy
Take an application from a git push to a live revision, then update it and roll it back — the immutable lifecycle, seen once end to end.
