## Build from source
Note: The most reliable way to build is using Docker.
Fedora 30 works well for this, but installing Docker on Fedora 31 or 32 is more difficult.
Debian 10 also works, but you'll need to follow the instructions at [docker.com][debian-docker] to get Docker
(don't use Debian's version).
Create a new Fedora-30 AppVM (or reuse an existing one). In the Qube's Settings (Basic / Disk storage), increase the private storage max size from the default 2048 MiB to 4096 MiB. Open a terminal.

Note: the object files are stored in the `_build` directory to speed up incremental builds.
If you change the dependencies, you will need to delete this directory before rebuilding.
If you want to build on Debian, follow the instructions at [docker.com][debian-docker] to get Docker and then run `sudo ./build-with-docker.sh` as above.
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.

**Note**: for `virt_mode`, use `pv` instead of `pvh` for firewall versions before 0.8.
## Upgrading
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.
If upgrading from a version before 0.8, you will also need to update a few options:
```
qvm-prefs mirage-firewall kernelopts ''
qvm-prefs mirage-firewall virt_mode pvh
qvm-features mirage-firewall no-default-kernelopts 1
```
### 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.
