Upgrading the Fedora 18 Template
================================
(**Note:** There is a [newer version of this page for upgrading from Fedora 20 to Fedora 21](/doc/fedora-template-upgrade-20/).)
This instruction in simplified version of [official Fedora instruction](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum). Note that only "yum" method will work in Qubes template VM (if you are curious why: mostly because template VM does not have own bootloader).
Upgrading Fedora 18 to Fedora 20
--------------------------------
Commands to run in dom0 console (you can do the same from Qubes Manager):
~~~
qvm-clone fedora-18-x64 fedora-20-x64
qvm-run -a fedora-20-x64 gnome-terminal
~~~
Commands to run in new fedora-20-x64 template:
~~~
sudo yum --releasever=20 distro-sync
poweroff
~~~
If you have installed a lot of software in your template, it may happen that you don't have enough disk space for upgrade. Yum will tell you this just after confirming the operation (before it change anything to your system). In that case you need to provide some "external" place for yum cache (uses about 2GB during upgrade). For example attach virtual disk stored in some file. Prepare the file in dom0:
~~~
truncate -s 5GB /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
qvm-block -A fedora-20-x64 dom0:/var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
~~~
Then use it in template:
~~~
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdi
sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable
sudo yum --releasever=20 --setopt=cachedir=/mnt/removable distro-sync
~~~
After upgrade is finished, you can remove /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img file.
Compacting templates root.img
-----------------------------
fstrim, nor "discard" mount option do not work on template root fs, so when some file is removed in the template, space isn't freed in dom0. This means that template will use about twice a space that is really need after upgrade.
**If you have at least `qubes-core-dom0-2.1.68` installed, you can use `qvm-trim-template` tool. Otherwise use instructions below.**
You can compact root.img in the "old way", you'll need about 15GB (template's max size + really used space there) in dom0 for this operation: Start the template, fill all the free space with zeros, for example with:
~~~
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/zero
(wait for "No space left on device" error)
rm -f /var/tmp/zero
~~~
Then shutdown template and all VMs based on it. Go into template directory in dom0 (/var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-20-x64 or so) and issue:
~~~
cp --sparse=always root.img root.img.new
mv root.img.new root.img
~~~
Done.

Detailed: Upgrading the Standard Fedora 20 Template to Fedora 21
----------------------------------------------------------------
These instructions will show you how to upgrade the standard Fedora 20
TemplateVM to Fedora 21. The same general procedure may be used to upgrade any
template based on the standard Fedora 20 template.
1. Clone the existing template and start a terminal in the new template.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-20-x64 fedora-21
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-21 gnome-terminal
2. Attempt the upgrade process in the new template.
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo yum erase nautilus-actions libcacard
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo yum clean all
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo yum --releasever=21 distro-sync
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo cp /usr/lib/qubes/init/ip* /etc/sysconfig/
(Shut down TemplateVM via Qubes VM Manager; may need to be killed.)
If you encounter no errors, proceed to step 7.
3. If `yum` reports that you do not have enough free disk space to proceed with
the upgrade process, create an empty file in dom0 to use as a cache and
attach it to the template as a virtual disk.
[user@dom0 ~]$ truncate -s 5GB /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A fedora-21 dom0:/var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
Then reattempt the upgrade process, but this time using the virtual disk as
a cache.
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdi
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo yum erase nautilus-actions libcacard
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo yum clean all
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo yum --releasever=21 --setopt=cachedir=/mnt/removable distro-sync
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo cp /usr/lib/qubes/init/ip* /etc/sysconfig/
(Poweroff via Qubes VM Manager. May need to be killed.)
4. If `yum` complains that there is not enough free space in `/usr/lib/modules`,
do this before reattempting the upgrade:
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/removable/modules
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo cp -rp /usr/lib/modules /mnt/removable/modules
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo mount --bind /mnt/removable/modules /usr/lib/modules
5. `yum` may complain:
At least X MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
In this case, one option is to [resize the TemplateVM's disk
image](/doc/ResizeDiskImage/) before reattempting the upgrade process.
(See **Additional Information** below for other options.)
6. After the upgrade process is finished, remove the cache file, if you
created one.
[user@dom0 ~]$ rm /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
7. Ensure your new template is fully updated.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-21 gnome-terminal
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ sudo yum -y update
8. Trim the new template (see **Compacting the Upgraded Template** for details
and other options).
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-21
9. (Optional) Remove the old default template.
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo yum remove qubes-template-fedora-20-x64
Summary: Upgrading the Minimal Fedora 20 Template to Fedora 21
--------------------------------------------------------------
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-20-x64-minimal fedora-21-minimal
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-21-minimal xterm
[user@fedora-21-minimal ~]$ su -
[root@fedora-21-minimal ~]# yum clean all
[user@fedora-21-minimal ~]# yum --releasever=21 distro-sync
[user@fedora-21-minimal ~]# cp /usr/lib/qubes/init/ip* /etc/sysconfig/
(Shut down the TemplateVM via Qubes VM Manager. May need to be killed.)
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-21-minimal xterm
[user@fedora-21-minimal ~]$ su -
[root@fedora-21-minimal ~]# yum -y update
(Shut down TemplateVM by any normal means.)
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-21-minimal
(If you encounter insufficient space issues, you may need to use the methods
described for the standard template above.)
Differences Between the Standard and Minimal Upgrade Procedures
---------------------------------------------------------------
The procedure for upgrading the minimal template (or any template based on the
minimal template) is the same as the procedure for the standard template above,
**with the following exceptions**:
1. `gnome-terminal` is not installed by default. Unless you've installed it
(or another terminal emulator), use `xterm`. (Of course, you can also use
`xterm` for the standard template, if you prefer.)
2. `nautilus-actions` and `libcacard` are not installed by default, so do not
try to erase them (unless you've installed them).
3. `sudo` is not installed by default. Unless you've installed it, use `su` as
demonstrated above. (Of course, you can also use `su` for the standard
template, if you prefer.)
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 and are on Qubes R2,
you can use the `qvm-trim-template` tool:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-21
If you do not have `qubes-core-dom0-2.1.68` or are on Qubes R3-rc1, 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@fedora-21 ~]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/zero
2. Wait for the "No space left on device" error. Then:
[user@fedora-21 ~]$ 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/fedora-21
[user@dom0 ~]$ cp --sparse=always root.img root.img.new
[user@dom0 ~]$ mv root.img.new root.img
Additional Information
----------------------
As mentioned above, you may encounter the following `yum` error:
At least X MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
In this case, you have several options:
1. [Increase the TemplateVM's disk image size](/doc/resize-disk-image/).
This is the solution mentioned in the main instructions above.
2. Delete files in order to free up space. One way to do this is by
uninstalling packages. You may then reinstall them again after you
finish the upgrade process, if desired). However, you may end up having to
increase the disk image size anyway (see previous option).
3. Increase the `root.img` size with `qvm-grow-root`. It should be easy to
extend the `qvm-grow-root` tool in order to support PV (and not only HVM)
VMs. However, someone would need to do this (patches welcome).
4. Do the upgrade in parts, e.g., by using package groups. (First upgrade
`@core` packages, then the rest.)
5. Do not perform an in-place upgrade. Instead, simply download and install a
new template package, then redo all desired template modifications.
With regard to the last option, here are some useful messages from the mailing
list which also apply to TemplateVM management and migration in general:
* [Marek](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/mCXkxlACILQ/dS1jbLRP9n8J)
* [Jason M](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/mCXkxlACILQ/5PxDfI-RKAsJ)
Known issues with Fedora 21
---------------------------
* [The "Update VM" command in Qubes Manager does not work](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/982).

Detailed: Upgrading the Standard Fedora 21 Template to Fedora 23
----------------------------------------------------------------
These instructions will show you how to upgrade the standard Fedora 21
TemplateVM to Fedora 23. The same general procedure may be used to upgrade any
template based on the standard Fedora 21 template.
1. Ensure the existing template is not running.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown fedora-21
2. Clone the existing template and start a terminal in the new template.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-21 fedora-23
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-23 gnome-terminal
2. Attempt the upgrade process in the new template. For now you need to enable testing repository to do that.
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo yum clean all
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo yum --releasever=23 --enablerepo=qubes*current-testing distro-sync
3. Shutdown the new TemplateVM via dom0 command line or Qubes VM Manager;
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown fedora-23
If you encounter no errors, proceed to step 7.
4. If `yum` reports that you do not have enough free disk space to proceed with
the upgrade process, create an empty file in dom0 to use as a cache and
attach it to the template as a virtual disk.
[user@dom0 ~]$ truncate -s 5GB /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A fedora-23 dom0:/var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img

a cache.
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdi
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo yum clean all
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo yum --releasever=23 --enablerepo=qubes*current-testing --setopt=cachedir=/mnt/removable distro-sync
(Poweroff via Qubes VM Manager. May need to be killed.)
5. If `yum` complains that there is not enough free space in `/usr/lib/modules`,
do this before reattempting the upgrade:
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/removable/modules
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo cp -rp /usr/lib/modules /mnt/removable/modules
[user@fedora-23 ~]$ sudo mount --bind /mnt/removable/modules /usr/lib/modules

Upgrading to Fedora 22
----------------------
You may choose to upgrade to Fedora 22 instead of Fedora 23. In that case,
simply replace version "23" with "22" in all above commands.
Known issues with Fedora 23
---------------------------
* [Graphical update tools (using PackageKit) does not work](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/982).
* [Dnf (new Fedora package manager) needs a lot of time to process repository metadata](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227014), you may want to use `yum-deprecated` for now
* ["Terminal" shortcuts do not work because the desktop file in the VM has been renamed](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1428). See the issue report for how to update your configuration to match.

TemplateVM to Fedora 24. The same general procedure may be used to upgrade any
template based on the standard Fedora 23 template.
**Note:** The command-line prompt on each line indicates where each command
should be entered (`@dom0` or `@fedora-24`).
1. Ensure the existing template is not running.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown fedora-23
2. Clone the existing template and start a terminal in the new template.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-23 fedora-24
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-24 gnome-terminal
3. Attempt the upgrade process in the new template.
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=24 distro-sync
**Note:** `dnf` might ask you to approve importing a new package signing
key. For example, you might see a prompt like this one:
warning: /var/cache/dnf/fedora-d02ca361e1b58501/packages/python2-babel-2.3.4-1.fc24.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 81b46521: NOKEY
Importing GPG key 0x81B46521:
Userid : "Fedora (24) <fedora-24-primary@fedoraproject.org>"
Fingerprint: 5048 BDBB A5E7 76E5 47B0 9CCC 73BD E983 81B4 6521
From : /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-24-x86_64
Is this ok [y/N]:
This key was already checked when it was installed (notice that the "From"
line refers to a location on your local disk), so you can safely say yes to
this prompt.
**Note:** If you encounter no errors, proceed to step 4. If you do encounter
errors, see the next two points first.
* If `dnf` reports that you do not have enough free disk space to proceed
with the upgrade process, create an empty file in dom0 to use as a cache
and attach it to the template as a virtual disk.
[user@dom0 ~]$ truncate -s 5GB /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A fedora-24 dom0:/var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
Then reattempt the upgrade process, but this time use the virtual disk
as a cache.
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdi
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=24 --setopt=cachedir=/mnt/removable distro-sync
If this attempt is successful, proceed to step 4.
* `dnf` may complain:
At least X MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
In this case, one option is to [resize the TemplateVM's disk
image][resize-disk-image] before reattempting the upgrade process.
(See [Additional Information] below for other options.)
4. Shut down the new TemplateVM (from the command-line or Qubes VM Manager).
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown fedora-24
5. Remove the cache file, if you created one.
[user@dom0 ~]$ rm /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
6. Trim the new template (see [Compacting the Upgraded Template] for details
and other options).
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-24
7. (Recommended) Switch everything that was set to the old template to the new
template, e.g.:
1. Make the new template the default template:
Qubes Manager --> Global settings --> Default template
2. Base AppVMs on the new template. In Qubes Manager, for each VM that is
currently based on `fedora-23` that you would like to base on
`fedora-24`, enter its VM settings and change the Template selection:
Qubes Manager --> (Select a VM) --> VM settings --> Template
3. Base the [DispVM] template on the new template.
If you have set the new template as your default template:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm --default-template
Otherwise:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm fedora-24
8. (Optional) Remove the old template. (Make sure to type `fedora-23`, not
`fedora-24`.)
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-23
Summary: Upgrading the Minimal Fedora 23 Template to Fedora 24
--------------------------------------------------------------
**Note:** The prompt on each line indicates where each command should be entered
(`@dom0` or `@fedora-24`).
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-23-minimal fedora-24-minimal
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-24-minimal xterm
[user@fedora-24-minimal ~]$ su -
[root@fedora-24-minimal ~]# dnf clean all
[user@fedora-24-minimal ~]# dnf --releasever=24 distro-sync
(Shut down TemplateVM by any normal means.)
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-24-minimal
(If you encounter insufficient space issues, you may need to use the methods
described for the standard template above.)
Differences Between the Standard and Minimal Upgrade Procedures
---------------------------------------------------------------
The procedure for upgrading the minimal template (or any template based on the
minimal template) is the same as the procedure for the standard template above,
**with the following exceptions**:
1. `gnome-terminal` is not installed by default. Unless you've installed it
(or another terminal emulator), use `xterm`. (Of course, you can also use
`xterm` for the standard template, if you prefer.)
2. `sudo` is not installed by default. Unless you've installed it, use `su` as
demonstrated above. (Of course, you can also use `su` for the standard
template, if you prefer.)
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.
You can use the `qvm-trim-template` tool:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-24
Upgrading StandaloneVMs
-----------------------
The procedure for upgrading a StandaloneVM from Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 is the
same as for a TemplateVM, except that `qvm-trim-template` does not work on
StandaloneVMs. Instead, you should run the following command inside the
StandaloneVM in order to compact it:
$ sudo fstrim -v -a
Additional Information
----------------------
As mentioned above, you may encounter the following `dnf` error:
At least X MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
In this case, you have several options:
1. [Increase the TemplateVM's disk image size][resize-disk-image].
This is the solution mentioned in the main instructions above.
2. Delete files in order to free up space. One way to do this is by
uninstalling packages. You may then reinstall them again after you
finish the upgrade process, if desired). However, you may end up having to
increase the disk image size anyway (see previous option).
3. Increase the `root.img` size with `qvm-grow-root`.
4. Do the upgrade in parts, e.g., by using package groups. (First upgrade
`@core` packages, then the rest.)
5. Do not perform an in-place upgrade. Instead, simply download and install a
new template package, then redo all desired template modifications.
With regard to the last option, here are some useful messages from the
mailing list which also apply to TemplateVM management and migration in
general:

Upgrading the Fedora 24 Template
================================
This instruction is about upgrading Fedora 24 to Fedora 25 template. The same
instruction can be used to upgrade Fedora 23 to Fedora 25 - simply start with
cloning fedora-23 instead of fedora-24.

Upgrading the Fedora 25 Template to Fedora 26
=============================================
This page provides instructions for performing an in-place upgrade of an
installed Fedora 25 [TemplateVM] to Fedora 26. If you wish to install a new,
unmodified Fedora 26 template instead of upgrading a template that is already
installed in your system, please see the [Fedora TemplateVM] page instead.
These instructions can also be used to upgrade a Fedora 24 TemplateVM to
Fedora 26. Simply start by cloning `fedora-24` instead of `fedora-25` in the
instructions below.

(See [Additional Information] below for other options.)
4. Trim the new template.
[user@fedora-26 ~]$ sudo fstrim -v /
5. Shut down the new TemplateVM (from the command-line or Qubes VM Manager).
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown fedora-26
6. Remove the cache file, if you created one.
[user@dom0 ~]$ rm /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
7. (Recommended) Switch everything that was set to the old template to the new
template, e.g.:
1. Make the new template the default template:
Applications Menu --> System Tools --> Qubes Global Settings --> Default template
2. Base AppVMs on the new template. In Qubes Manager, for each VM that is
currently based on `fedora-25` that you would like to base on
`fedora-26`, enter its VM settings and change the Template selection:
Applications Menu --> (select a VM) --> VM settings --> Template
3. Base the [DispVM] template on the new template.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create -l red -t fedora-26 fedora-26-dvm
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-prefs fedora-26-dvm template_for_dispvms True

same as for a TemplateVM.
### Summary: Upgrading the Minimal Fedora 25 Template to Fedora 26 ###
**Note:** The prompt on each line indicates where each command should be entered
(`@dom0` or `@fedora-26`).
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-25-minimal fedora-26-minimal
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -u root -a fedora-26-minimal xterm

[user@fedora-26-minimal ~]# fstrim -v /
(Shut down TemplateVM by any normal means.)
(If you encounter insufficient space issues, you may need to use the methods
described for the standard template above.)
Additional Information
----------------------
As mentioned above, you may encounter the following `dnf` error:
At least X MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
In this case, you have several options:
1. [Increase the TemplateVM's disk image size][resize-disk-image].
This is the solution mentioned in the main instructions above.
2. Delete files in order to free up space. One way to do this is by
uninstalling packages. You may then reinstalling them again after you
finish the upgrade process, if desired). However, you may end up having to
increase the disk image size anyway (see previous option).
3. Increase the `root.img` size with `qvm-grow-root`.
4. Do the upgrade in parts, e.g., by using package groups. (First upgrade
`@core` packages, then the rest.)
5. Do not perform an in-place upgrade. Instead, simply download and install a
new template package, then redo all desired template modifications.
With regard to the last option, here are some useful messages from the
mailing list which also apply to TemplateVM management and migration in
general:

These instructions will show you how to upgrade the standard Fedora 26
TemplateVM to Fedora 27. The same general procedure may be used to upgrade any
template based on the standard Fedora 26 template.
**Note:** The command-line prompt on each line indicates where each command
should be entered (`@dom0` or `@fedora-27`).
1. Ensure the existing template is not running.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-shutdown fedora-26
2. Clone the existing template and start a terminal in the new template.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-26 fedora-27
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-27 gnome-terminal
3. Attempt the upgrade process in the new template.
[user@fedora-27 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all
[user@fedora-27 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=27 distro-sync --best --allowerasing
**Note:** `dnf` might ask you to approve importing a new package signing

5. Remove the cache file, if you created one.
[user@dom0 ~]$ rm /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
6. Trim the new template (see [Compacting the Upgraded Template] for details
and other options).
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-27
7. (Recommended) [Switch everything that was set to the old template to the new
template.][switching-3.2]
8. (Optional) Remove the old template. (Make sure to type `fedora-26`, not
`fedora-27`.)
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-26
### 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.
You can use the `qvm-trim-template` tool:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-27
### Upgrading StandaloneVMs ###
The procedure for upgrading a StandaloneVM from Fedora 26 to Fedora 27 is the
same as for a TemplateVM, except that `qvm-trim-template` does not work on
StandaloneVMs. Instead, you should run the following command inside the
StandaloneVM in order to compact it:
$ sudo fstrim -v -a
