Upgrading the Debian 8 Template
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
Disclaimer: Debian 9 (Stretch) is marked testing for a reason. You may notice stability problems when using it.
|
||||
|
||||
Summary: Upgrading the Standard Debian 8 Template to Debian 9
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone debian-8 debian-9
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a debian-9 gnome-terminal
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3.list
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo apt-get autoremove
|
||||
|
||||
(Shut down TemplateVM by any normal means.)
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template debian-9
|
||||
|
||||
(Done.)
|
||||
|
||||
Detailed: Upgrading the Standard Debian 8 Template to Debian 9
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
These instructions will show you how to upgrade the standard Debian 8
|
||||
TemplateVM to Debian 9. The same general procedure may be used to upgrade
|
||||
any template based on the standard Debian 8 template.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure the existing template is not running.
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown debian-8
|
||||
|
||||
2. Clone the existing template and start a terminal in the new template.
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone debian-8 debian-9
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a debian-9 gnome-terminal
|
||||
|
||||
3. Update your apt repositories to use stretch instead of jessie
|
||||
(This can be done manually with a text editor, but sed can be used to
|
||||
automatically update the files.)
|
||||
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3.list
|
||||
|
||||
4. Update the package lists and upgrade to Debian 9. During the process,
|
||||
it will likely prompt to overwrite two files, qubes-r3.list and
|
||||
pulse/client.conf. qubes-r3.list can be overwritten, while pulse/client.conf
|
||||
need to left as the currently installed version.
|
||||
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
|
||||
|
||||
5. Remove unnecessary packages that were previously installed
|
||||
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ sudo apt-get autoremove
|
||||
|
||||
6. Shutdown the new TemplateVM via dom0 command line or Qubes VM Manager;
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown debian-9
|
||||
|
||||
7. Trim the new template (see **Compacting the Upgraded Template** for details
|
||||
and other options).
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template debian-9
|
||||
|
||||
8. (Optional) Remove the old default template.
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo yum remove qubes-template-debian-8
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compacting the Upgraded Template
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
Neither `fstrim` nor the `discard` mount option works on the TemplateVM's root
|
||||
filesystem, so when a file is removed in the template, space is not freed in
|
||||
dom0. This means that the template will use about twice as much space as is
|
||||
really necessary after upgrading.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have at least `qubes-core-dom0-2.1.68` installed or are on Qubes R3.0,
|
||||
you can use the `qvm-trim-template` tool:
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template debian-9
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have `qubes-core-dom0-2.1.68` or are on older Qubes version, you can
|
||||
compact the `root.img` manually. To do this, you will need about 15GB (the
|
||||
TemplateVM's max size + the actually used space there) free space in dom0.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start the template and fill all the free space with zeros, for example
|
||||
with:
|
||||
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/zero
|
||||
|
||||
2. Wait for the "No space left on device" error. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
[user@debian-9 ~]$ rm -f /var/tmp/zero
|
||||
|
||||
3. Shut down the template and all VMs based on it. Then:
|
||||
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ cd /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/debian-9
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ cp --sparse=always root.img root.img.new
|
||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ mv root.img.new root.img
|
||||
|
||||
Additional Information
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
It should be noted that Debian 9 (Stretch) is currently marked testing and
|
||||
should be treat as such. For projects that need absolute stability, upgrading
|
||||
may not be the best option.
|
||||
|
||||
Debian Stretch packages were first made available in the Qubes R3.1 repositories.
