uid Olivier MEDOC (Qubes-OS signing key) <o_medoc@yahoo.fr> ##Instructions
<br>
**These are the instructions for Qubes 3.1. They will take you step by step thru the entire process start to finish**
*Note: Currently there are no binary packages and it must be compiled from source using the instructions below.*
<br>
<br>
<br>
<big>**1: Create and configure VM to use for template building:**</big>
* The VM should be based on a Fedora template. It's best to use a standalone VM. I created a standalone VM based on
the Fedora 23 template. I named the VM “**development**”. These instructions assume a standalone VM based on a Fedora template is being used.
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
* Ensure there is at least 25GB preferably 30GB of free space in the private storage. I made the private storage 30GB to be safe.
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh165/tim_welter/Qubes%20OS/development30gb_zpsijgeanf4.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh165/tim_welter/Qubes%20OS/development30gb_zpsijgeanf4.png"/></a>
<br>
<br>
*Note: Unless otherwise noted, all commands are from within the “development” VM or whatever you named your standalone VM used for building the template.*
<br>
<br>
<br>
<big>**2: Create GitHub Account(optional):**</big>
* It can be helpful. Creating only a basic account is all that is needed. This will allow you to help, going forward, with the Qubes project. You could be help edit errors in documentation. It can also be of use building other templates.
* Create user account here https://github.com

<br>
<br>
<br>
<big>**3: Install necessary packages in the 'development' VM to use "Qubes Automated Build System":**</big>
* Necessary packages to install:
* git
* createrepo
* rpm-build
* make
* rpmdevtools
* python-sh
* dailog
* rpm-sign
<br>
Install * The tools can usually be installed all together with the following terminal command string:
-------
Currently we do not ship ready to use binary package. It can be compiled using * **$ sudo dnf install git createrepo rpm-build make wget rpmdevtools python-sh dialog rpm-sign**
[this instructions](/doc/building-archlinux-template/). <br>

<br>
<br>
Olivier provides binary package build by himself, you can get it for: <big>**4: Installing the "Qubes Automated Build System":**</big>
* Qubes R2 [here](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/qubes-devel/54CE3FB1.3050708%40yahoo.fr).
* Qubes R3 [here](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/RI3KQVEEc30/h5nsNw_SHTQJ) * To get the most current build system its best to use marmarek's git repository.
* $ **git clone https://github.com/marmarek/qubes-builder.git**

<br>
<br>
* You will now have the Qubes Builder System enviornment installed in the directory below:
* **/home/user/qubes-builder**
<br>
<br>
<br>
<big>**5: Configuring setup script to create builder.conf file:**</big>
* You will be creating the builder.conf file which tells where and what to use. The most automated, and in in this case the easiest, way to create this is to use the script that is provided in Qubes Builder. Its named '**setup**'. Before running the script you need to edit one file it uses.
*In the future this should not be needed once a change is made to the 'setup' script.*
* Edit the '**qubes-os-master.conf**' which is found in **/home/user/qubes-builder/example-configs** Use the text editor of your choice.
* **$ cd /home/user/qubes-builder/example-config/**
* **$ nano -W qubes-os-master.conf** or **$ gedit qubes-os-master.conf** or etc….

<br>
<br>
* Go to the first line containing '**DIST_VM ?= fc23**' it will be preceeded by line '**DIST_DOM0 ?= fc20**'. Remove '**fc23**' or whatever is listed there leaving only '**DIST_VM ?=**'. Then save the file and close the text editor.

<br>
<br>
* **Transfer the two files into Dom0**
*Note: as there is not a typical file transfer method for Dom0, for security reasons, this less than simple transfer function has to be used*
* Swtich to Domo and open a terminal window.
**Note:** Take care when entering these cmd strings. They are very long and have a number of characters that are easy to mix '**-**' vs '**.**' '**<u>T</u>emplates** (correct) vs **<u>t</u>emplates** (wrong) or **Template_**'(also wrong)
* **$ cd /**

#**Package Manager Proxy Setup Section**
One last thing to setup to have a "PROPERLY" functioning archlinux template.
Archlinux package manager Pacman is a fine package mangers execpt that we could not find a way to configure it to use the Qubes Update Proxy Service (QUPS) that would compliy with Qubes QUPS usage policy.
*If someone does find a way please post to the Qubes-Users or Devel google groups mailing list.*
Powerpill is a full Pacman wrapper that not only give easy proxy configuration but futher offers numerous other advantages.
Please check out:
[Archlinux Powerpill](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/powerpill)
[XYNE's (dev) Powerpill](http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/powerpill/)
**Important Note:** Until Powerpill is configured you will have to open network access to the template to get the intial packages etc downloaded. You can use the "allow full access for" a given time period in the FW settings of the template in the VMM or open up the various services thru the same window. Remember to change it back if you choose the later route. Actions needing network access will be noted with (needs network access)
<br>
<br>
**1: Editing Pacman's configuration file (pacman.conf)**
* Open archlinux terminal app
* edit /etc/pacman.conf
* **$ sudo nano -w /etc/pacman.conf**
* Below is the output of a correct pacman.conf file Make the changes so your file matches this one or rename the orginal and create a new one and copy and paste this text into it. Text should be justifed left in the file. The changes from your default are to make gpg sig signing mandatory for packages but not required for DBs for the archlinux repos. Also to add the repo (at the end) for the Powerpill package.

The addition of the above xrne-x86_64 repo is needed for the repo that contains powerpill.
<br>
<br>
<br>
**2: Setting Up GPG** (needs network access)
* Initialize GPG Keyring
* **$ sudo pacman-key --init**
* Populate the keyring with Archlinux master keys
* **$ sudo pacmna-key --populate archlinux**
* Confirm keys with those at [Archlinux Master Keys](https://www.archlinux.org/master-keys/)
* For more information on Pacman key sigining: [Pacman Package Key Signing](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Package_signing)
<br>
<br>
**3: Install Powerpill (Pacman wrapper)** (needs network access)
* **$ sudo pacman -S powerpill**
<br>
<br>
**4: Install Reflector** (needs network access)
*Note: It scripts mirror updating. Grabbing the most up to date gen mirror list. It ranks them by most recently sync'd. Then ranks them on fastest speed. Also can be used by Powerpill config to allow a once stop conf file for all if so wanted.*
* **$ sudo pacman -S reflector**
Note: You can combine package downloads: **$ sudo pacman -S powerpill reflector**
<br>
<br>
**5: Backup mirrorlist prior to first running Reflector.**
Note: For info on Reflector and its configs: [Reflector](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reflector)
* **$ sudo cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bkup**
<br>
<br>
**6: Setup mirrolist with Reflector** (needs network access)**
*Note: Look at the Reflector page to decide what filter and argument string you wish to run. Below is a default string that will work for most all to setup a working basic mirrorlist.
*Look to Reflector pages or --help for more info on arug and filters.*
* **$ sudo reflector --verbose -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist**
* The above ranks all the most up to date and sorts for the 5 fastest
* You can confirm the new list by opening the newly created mirrorlist.

**7: Configure Powerpill configuration file to use Qubes Proxy Service**
* Qubes Proxy Address: **10.137.255.254:8082**
* Edit **powerpill.json** (powerpill config file)
* **$ sudo nano -w /etc/powerpill/powerpill.json**
* Add line '**--all-proxy=10.137.255.254:8082**' at the bottom of the list under the **"aria2"** section under the **"args"** line. Example below:
<br>
{
"aria2": {
"args": [
"--allow-overwrite=true",
"--always-resume=false",
"--auto-file-renaming=false",
"--check-integrity=true",
"--conditional-get=true",
"--continue=true",
"--file-allocation=none",
"--log-level=error",
"--max-concurrent-downloads=100",
"--max-connection-per-server=5",
"--min-split-size=5M",
"--remote-time=true",
"--show-console-readout=true",
"--all-proxy=10.137.255.254:8082"
],
"path": "/usr/bin/aria2c"
},

**8: Test Powerpill Configuration**
*Note: Powerpill uses and passes the same syntax as pacman*
* Configure Archlinux Template to only use the Qubes Proxy Update Service
* In the Qubes VM Manager under Archlinux FW tab make sure only the access check box for update proxy is on. All others should be set to deny.
* **$ sudo powerpill -Syu**
* You should get a similar output as below:
<br>

**Remember you must open up network access anytime you wish to run the Reflector script to update the mirrorlist. This page will be updated when/if this situation changes.**
###**If the above checks out, you can start using your new Archlinux Template**###
