How to create a fedora 29 based sys-template

This Howto will cover how I build a template which I use for my sys-vms, like:

  • sys-net
  • sys-firewall
  • sys-usb
  • sys-vpn

While the default sys-VMs in Qubes work, I like to run my own custom build template which have less packages installed and are based on the fedora-29 minimal template.

You can just copy & paste the following content, which will setup the new template. If you have any questions or if you have comments to improve the setup, do not hesitate to contact me.

template=fedora-29-minimal
systemplate=t-fedora-29-sys

# get fedora-29-minimal template
sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-$template

#remove old template
qvm-kill $systemplate
qvm-remove -f $systemplate

#clone template
qvm-clone $template $systemplate
# update template
qvm-run --auto --user root --pass-io --no-gui $systemplate \
  'dnf update -y'

# install a missing package for fedora-29-minimal
# without it, gui-apps will not start
qvm-run --auto --user root --pass-io --no-gui $systemplate \
  'dnf install -y e2fsprogs'

# Install required packages for Sys-VMs
qvm-run --auto --user root --pass-io --no-gui $systemplate \
  'dnf -y install qubes-core-agent-qrexec qubes-core-agent-systemd \
  qubes-core-agent-networking polkit qubes-core-agent-network-manager \
  notification-daemon qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates qubes-usb-proxy \
  iwl6000g2a-firmware qubes-input-proxy-sender iproute iputils \
  NetworkManager-openvpn NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome \
  NetworkManager-wwan NetworkManager-wifi network-manager-applet'

# Optional packages you might want to install in the sys-template:
qvm-run --auto --user root --pass-io --no-gui $systemplate \
  'dnf -y install nano less pciutils xclip'

# Nice(r) Gnome-Terminal compared to xterm
qvm-run --auto --user root --pass-io --no-gui $systemplate \
  'dnf -y install gnome-terminal terminus-fonts dejavu-sans-fonts \
   dejavu-sans-mono-fonts'

# Set new template as template for sys-vms
qvm-shutdown --all --wait --timeout 120
qvm-prefs --set sys-usb template $systemplate
qvm-prefs --set sys-net template $systemplate
qvm-prefs --set sys-firewall template $systemplate
qvm-prefs --set sys-vpn template $systemplate
