Extend incus-migrate to also support uploading filesystems and disks as custom volumes

[stgraber]

Is there an existing issue for this?

What are you currently unable to do

Currently incus-migrate can be used to create a remote instance on Incus based on either a filesystem tree (container) or a disk or image file (VM).

We should also allow for streaming into a custom volume instead, with the same logic, so a filesystem tree would land into a filesystem storage volume and a disk or image file would end up in a block storage volume.

The APIs are near identical for instances and custom volumes, so this should be pretty easy to add to the tool.

What do you think would need to be added

Hi, @parthgupta2005 and I are students at the University of Texas at Austin. As part of our virtualization class, we would like to contribute to LXC Incus and resolve this issue.

Assigned it to you now. I'll need @parthgupta2005 to comment in here so I can assign them too.

Hello, apologies for the late response. We look forward to resolving the issue!

Hi, @stgraber we mistakenly committed to this issue without discussing with our professor first. Could you please unassign us from this issue. Our sincerest apologies.

[stgraber]

Done!
