Incus is the replacement of LXD one should use. For some reason it won't work well on Void out of the box after a while, and incus start <container-name> might stop doing anything. How do we fix it?

Looking at /usr/share/doc/incus/README.voidlinux it suggests the following:

Some container configurations may require that the `CGROUP_MODE`
variable in `/etc/rc.conf` be set to `unified`.

One way to solve it is that. I did another solution however, which I found at this github issue. I did the following:

I created this Perl script, called enable_incus somewhere:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use v5.38;

! -d '/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd' or say("Incus already enabled. Skipping."), exit;

system('sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd');
system('sudo mount -t cgroup -o none,name=systemd systemd /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd');

say 'OK';

Then I edited /etc/sv/incus/run and added this line near the top:

/path/to/enable_incus

...so that my script gets executed just before incus is launched.

This fixed the problem.
