How to Reinstall a TemplateVM
=============================
If you suspect your [TemplateVM] is broken, misconfigured, or compromised,
or if you wish to do a clean reinstall in order to upgrade to a new version, you
can reinstall any TemplateVM from the Qubes repository. In what follows, the
phrase "target TemplateVM" refers to whichever TemplateVM you want to reinstall.
If you want to reinstall more than one TemplateVM, repeat these instructions for
each one.
If you suspect your [TemplateVM] is broken, misconfigured, or compromised, you
can reinstall any TemplateVM that was installed from the Qubes repository.
Starting in Qubes 3.1, the process is greatly simplified.
First, copy any files that you wish to keep from the TemplateVM's `/home` and
`/rw` folders to a safe storage location. Then, in a dom0 terminal, run:
sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall qubes-template-package-name
Replace `qubes-template-package-name` with the name of the *package* of the
template you wish to reinstall. For example, use `qubes-template-fedora-23` if
you wish to reinstall the `fedora-23` template. Only one template can be
reinstalled at a time.
VMs that are using the reinstalled template will not be affected until they are
restarted.
Manual Reinstallation Method
----------------------------
If you're using Qubes 3.0 or older, or if you wish to do a clean reinstallation
of a template in order to upgrade to a different version, you should use the
manual method.
In what follows, the term "target TemplateVM" refers to whichever TemplateVM you
want to reinstall. If you want to reinstall more than one TemplateVM, repeat
these instructions for each one.
1. (Optional) Clone the existing target TemplateVM.
