The tarball contains `vmlinuz`, which is the unikernel itself, plus a couple of dummy files that Qubes requires.
To configure your new firewall using the Qubes Manager GUI:
### Qubes 3
To configure your new firewall using the Qubes 3 Manager GUI:
- Create a new ProxyVM named `mirage-firewall` to run the unikernel.
- You can use any template, and make it standalone or not. It doesnt matter, since we dont use the hard disk.
@ -42,10 +50,42 @@ To configure your new firewall using the Qubes Manager GUI:
- Turn off memory balancing and set the memory to 32 MB or so (you might have to fight a bit with the Qubes GUI to get it this low).
- Set VCPUs (number of virtual CPUs) to 1.
You can run `mirage-firewall` alongside your existing `sys-firewall` and you can choose which AppVMs use which firewall using the GUI.
To configure an AppVM to use it, go to the app VM's settings in the GUI and change its `NetVM` from `default (sys-firewall)` to `mirage-firewall`. Alternatively, you can configure `mirage-firewall` to be your default firewall VM.
### Qubes 4
For development, use the [test-mirage][] scripts to deploy the unikernel (`mir-qubes-firewall.xen`) from your development AppVM. e.g.
Run this command in dom0 to create a `mirage-firewall` VM using the `mirage-firewall` kernel you added above:
```
qvm-create \
--property kernel=mirage-firewall \
--property kernelopts=None \
--property memory=32 \
--property maxmem=32 \
--property netvm=sys-net \
--property provides_network=True \
--property vcpus=1 \
--property virt_mode=pv \
--label=green \
--class StandaloneVM \
mirage-firewall
```
### Configure AppVMs to use it
You can run `mirage-firewall` alongside your existing `sys-firewall` and you can choose which AppVMs use which firewall using the GUI.
To configure an AppVM to use it, go to the app VM's settings in the GUI and change its `NetVM` from `default (sys-firewall)` to `mirage-firewall`.
You can also configure it by running this command in dom0 (replace `my-app-vm` with the AppVM's name):
```
qvm-prefs --set my-app-vm netvm mirage-firewall
```
Alternatively, you can configure `mirage-firewall` to be your default firewall VM.
### Easy deployment for developers
For development, use the [test-mirage][] scripts to deploy the unikernel (`qubes_firewall.xen`) from your development AppVM.
This takes a little more setting up the first time, but will be much quicker after that. e.g.
$ test-mirage qubes_firewall.xen mirage-firewall
