title: Minimal Templates
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
The Minimal [templates](/doc/templates/) are lightweight versions of their standard template counterparts.
|
||||
They have only the most vital packages installed, including a minimal X and xterm installation.
|
||||
The sections below contain instructions for using the template and provide some examples for common use cases.
|
||||
There are currently three Minimal templates corresponding to the standard [Fedora](/doc/templates/fedora/), [Debian](/doc/templates/debian/), [CentOS](/doc/templates/centos/) and [Gentoo](/doc/templates/gentoo/) templates.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal tempaltes offer several advantages:
|
||||
- reduced attack surface
|
||||
- reduced memory requirements
|
||||
- more fine-grained compartmentalization *(by having qubes dedicated to one task only (e.g my “work-mail” qube consists of a qube with only an email client)*.
|
||||
The minimal [templates](/doc/templates/) are lightweight versions of their
|
||||
standard template counterparts. They have only the most vital packages
|
||||
installed, including a minimal X and xterm installation. When properly
|
||||
configured and used, minimal templates can be less resource-intensive, reduce
|
||||
attack surface, and support more fine-grained compartmentalization. The
|
||||
sections below contain instructions for installing and configuring minimal
|
||||
templates, along with some examples of common use cases.
|
||||
|
||||
## Important
|
||||
|
||||
1. The Minimal templates are intended only for advanced users.
|
||||
If you encounter problems with the Minimal templates, we recommend that you use their standard template counterparts instead.

|

|

2. If something works with a standard template but not the minimal version, this is most likely due to user error (e.g., a missing package or misconfiguration) rather than a bug.
|
||||
In such cases, please do *not* file a bug report.
|
||||
Instead, please see [Help, Support, Mailing Lists, and Forum](/support/) for the appropriate place to ask for help.
|
||||
Once you have learned how to solve your problem, please [contribute what you learned to the documentation](/doc/doc-guidelines/).

## Installation
|

The Minimal templates can be installed with the following command (where `X` is your desired distro and version number):

You may wish to try again with the testing repository enabled:

## Passwordless root
|
||||
|
||||
It is an intentional design choice for [Passwordless Root Access in VMs](/doc/vm-sudo/) to be optional in Minimal templates.
|
||||
Since the Minimal templates are *minimal*, they are not configured for passwordless root by default.
|
||||
To update or install packages, execute the following command in dom0 (where `X` is your distro and version number):

|

[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -u root <DISTRO_NAME>-<RELEASE_NUMBER>-minimal xterm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This opens a root terminal in the Minimal template, from which you can use execute root commands without `sudo`.
|
||||
You will have to do this every time if you choose not to enable passwordless root.

|

If you want to be able to use `sudo` inside a Minimal template (or app qubes based on a Minimal template), open a root terminal as just instructed, then install the `qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root` package.

|
||||
|
||||
Optionally, verify that passwordless root now works by opening a normal (non-root) xterm window in the Minimal template, then issue the command `sudo -l`.
|
||||
This should give you output that includes the `NOPASSWD` keyword.

## Customization

|

You may wish to clone the original template and make any changes in the clone instead of the original template.

You must start the clone in order to customize it.
