Building Whonix Templates

The Whonix templates are easily downloaded and installed by following the procedure here. However, they are integrated into qubes-builder so they are easy to build yourself if you prefer. Note that you will need to create anon-whonix manually if you do so, but see this issue.

First, create the Build Environment (follow the build environment section only).

Next, configure the builder:

cd ~/qubes-builder
./setup
# Select Yes to add Qubes Master Signing Key
# Select Yes to add Qubes OS Signing Key
# Select 3.2 or 4.0 for version
# Stable
# Yes (we want to build only templates)
# Select builder-fedora, builder-debian, template-whonix, mgmt-salt (builder will complain if you don't include builder-fedora, but we don't actually use it)
# Choose Yes to add adrelanos's third party key
# Yes (to download)
# Select whonix-gateway, whonix-workstation (for the currently shipping templates)

Continue the build process with:

make install-deps
make get-sources

Finally, use:

make qubes-vm
make template
