are some of you using Alpine to host incus[1]?
With ZFS?
It sounds appealing to have a slim server running the container infrastructure itself, doesn't it?

I'm not using Incus, but I do have a few devices running ZFS on Alpine,
both on root with ZFSBootMenu (although this isn't packaged properly yet
and I'm using the EFI executable provided by upstream) and for storage
disks and there haven't been any issues on my side.
If it helps, there exists a fairly basic ZFS wiki page for Alpine:

Hi Marcus,
I have been running both incus-feature on my everyday laptop (Alpine
edge) and incus (LTS) on a server (Alpine 3.23, probably began on an
earlier release) for a year or two, both using ZFS datasets for storage.
It has been simple and boring, in a good way. :)
Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Best,
Edin
