# qubes-mirage-firewall A unikernel that can run as a QubesOS ProxyVM, replacing `sys-firewall`. It uses the [mirage-qubes][] library to implement the Qubes protocols. Note: This firewall *ignores the rules set in the Qubes GUI*. See `rules.ml` for the actual policy. See [A Unikernel Firewall for QubesOS][] for more details. ## Build (with Docker) Clone this Git repository and run the `build-with-docker.sh` script: sudo yum install docker sudo systemctl start docker git clone https://github.com/talex5/qubes-mirage-firewall.git cd qubes-mirage-firewall sudo ./build-with-docker.sh This took about 10 minutes on my laptop (it will be much quicker if you run it again). ## Build (without Docker) 1. Install build tools: sudo yum install git gcc m4 0install patch ncurses-devel tar bzip2 unzip make which findutils xen-devel mkdir ~/bin 0install add opam http://tools.ocaml.org/opam.xml opam init --comp=4.04.0 eval `opam config env` 2. Install mirage, pinning a few unreleased features we need: opam pin add -y mirage-nat 'https://github.com/talex5/mirage-nat.git#mirage3' opam install mirage 3. Build mirage-firewall: git clone https://github.com/talex5/qubes-mirage-firewall.git cd qubes-mirage-firewall mirage configure --xen make ## Deploy If you want to deploy manually, use `make tar` to create `mirage-firewall.tar.bz2` and unpack this in dom0, inside `/var/lib/qubes/vm-kernels/`. e.g. (if `dev` is the AppVM where you built it): [tal@dom0 ~]$ cd /var/lib/qubes/vm-kernels/ [tal@dom0 vm-kernels]$ qvm-run -p dev 'cat qubes-mirage-firewall/mirage-firewall.tar.bz2' | tar xjf - The tarball contains `vmlinuz`, which is the unikernel itself, plus a couple of dummy files that Qubes requires. For development, use the [test-mirage][] scripts to deploy the unikernel (`mir-qubes-firewall.xen`) from your development AppVM. e.g. $ test-mirage mir-firewall.xen mirage-firewall Waiting for 'Ready'...
