The Fedora TemplateVM
=====================
The Fedora TemplateVM is the default TemplateVM in Qubes OS.
The Fedora [TemplateVM] is the default TemplateVM in Qubes OS.
This page is about the standard (or "full") Fedora TemplateVM.
For the minimal version, please see the [Fedora Minimal] page.
Installation
------------
The Fedora TemplateVM comes preinstalled with Qubes OS.
However, there may be times when you wish to install a fresh copy from the Qubes repositories, e.g.:
1. When a version of Fedora reaches EOL ([end-of-life]).
2. When a new version of Fedora you wish to use becomes [supported] as a TemplateVM.
3. When you suspect your Fedora TemplateVM has been compromised.
4. When you have made modifications to the Fedora TemplateVM that you no longer want.
To install a specific Fedora TemplateVM that is not currently installed in your system, use the following command in dom0:
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-26
(If necessary, replace `26` with your desired Fedora version.)
To reinstall a Fedora TemplateVM that is already installed in your system, see [How to Reinstall a TemplateVM].
After Installing
----------------
After installing a fresh Fedora TemplateVM, we recommend performing the following steps:
1. [Update the TemplateVM].
2. Switch any [TemplateBasedVMs] that are based on the old TemplateVM to the new one.
3. If desired, remove the old TemplateVM by running the following command in dom0:
$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-26
(If necessary, replace `26` with your desired Fedora version.)
