 It's OK to install the Docker package in a template VM if you want it to remain
 after a reboot, but the build of the firewall itself should be done in a regular AppVM.

 To upgrade from an earlier release, just overwrite `/var/lib/qubes/vm-kernels/mirage-firewall/vmlinuz` with the new version and restart the firewall VM.

 ### 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.
