Fedora - minimal
We have uploaded a new "minimal" template to our templates-itl repo. The template weighs only 150MB and has most of the stuff cut off, except for minimal X and xterm.
More into in ticket #828
Install
It can be installed via the following command:
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-21-minimal
Usage
It is a good idea to clone the original template, and make any changes in the new clone instead:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-21-minimal <your new template name>
The sudo package is not installed by default, so let's install it:
[user@F21-Minimal ~]$ su -
[user@F21-Minimal ~]$ yum install sudo
The rsyslog logging service is not installed by default. All logging is now being handled by the systemd journal. Users requiring the rsyslog service should install it manually.
To access the journald log, use the journalctl command.
as a NetVM
If you want to use this template to for standard NetVMs you should install some more packeges:
[user@F21-Minimal ~]$ sudo yum install NetworkManager NetworkManager-wifi network-manager-applet wireless-tools dbus-x11 dejavu-sans-fonts tar tinyproxy
And maybe some more optional but useful packages as well:
[user@F21-Minimal ~]$ sudo yum install pciutils vim-minimal less tcpdump telnet psmisc nmap nmap-ncat gnome-keyring
If your network device needs some firmware then you should also install the corresponding packages as well. The lspci; yum search firmware command will help to choose the right one :)
as a ProxyVM
If you want to use this template as a ProxyVM you may want to install even more packages
Firewall
This template is ready to use for a standard firewall VM.
VPN
The needed packages depend on the VPN technology. The yum search "NetworkManager VPN plugin" command may help you to choose the right one.
