As mentioned in [the linuxcontainers.org thread](https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/early-development-version-of-the-resurrected-incus-compose-online/25690/), right now incus-compose hardcodes a storage pool named of `default`. On IncusOS, the default storage pool is named `local`. For flexibility, it would be great to add an option to allow configuring the target storage pool name. I reworked the patch provided by [@Sagi](https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/early-development-version-of-the-resurrected-incus-compose-online/25690/13) to apply cleanly on top of main: ```diff ---
