Customization

Customizing the template for specific use cases normally only requires installing additional packages.
The following table provides an overview of which packages are needed for which purpose.
As expected, the required packages are to be installed in the running template with the following command. Replace "packages" with the list of packages to be installed, separated by space.

Use case | Description | Required steps
--- | --- | ---
**Standard utilities** | If you need the commonly used utilities | Install the following packages: `pciutils` `vim-minimal` `less` `psmisc` `gnome-keyring`
**Firewall VM** | You can use the minimal template as a firewall VM, such as the basis template for `sys-firewall` | No extra packages are needed for the template to work as a firewall.
**Network VM** | You can use this template as the basis for a NetVM such as `sys-net` | Install the following packages: `NetworkManager` `NetworkManager-wifi` `network-manager-applet` `wireless-tools` `dbus-x11 dejavu-sans-fonts` `tinyproxy`.
**Network VM (extra firmware)** | If your network devices need extra packages for the template to work as a network VM | Use the `lspci` command to identify the devices, then run `dnf search firmware` (replace "firmware" with the appropriate device identifier) to find the needed packages and then install them.
**FirewallVM** | You can use the minimal template as a [FirewallVM](/doc/qubes-firewall/), such as the basis template for `sys-firewall` | No extra packages are needed for the template to work as a firewall.
**NetVM** | You can use this template as the basis for a NetVM such as `sys-net` | Install the following packages: `NetworkManager` `NetworkManager-wifi` `network-manager-applet` `wireless-tools` `dbus-x11 dejavu-sans-fonts` `tinyproxy`.

**Network utilities** | If you need utilities for debugging and analyzing network connections | Install the following packages: `tcpdump` `telnet` `nmap` `nmap-ncat`
**USB VM** | If you want USB input forwarding to use this template as the basis for a USBVM such as `sys-usb` | Install `qubes-input-proxy-sender`
**VPN VM** | You can use this template as basis for a VPN machine | Use the `dnf search "NetworkManager VPN plugin"` command to look up the VPN packages you need, based on the VPN technology you'll be using, and install them. Some GNOME related packages may be needed as well. After creation of a machine based on this template, follow the [VPN howto](/doc/vpn/#set-up-a-proxyvm-as-a-vpn-gateway-using-networkmanager) to configure it.
**TOR** | If you want to provide torified networking to other clients | As described in [the TorVM page](/doc/torvm/), the recommendation is to use [the standard Whonix image](/doc/whonix/) for this use case.
**USB** | If you want USB input forwarding to use this template as the basis for a [USB](/doc/usb/) qube such as `sys-usb` | Install `qubes-input-proxy-sender`

The `rsyslog` logging service is not installed by default, as all logging is instead being handled by the `systemd` journal.
Users requiring the `rsyslog` service should install it manually.
