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.

To build (tested by creating a fresh Fedora 23 AppVM in Qubes):

  1. Install build tools:

     sudo yum install git gcc m4 0install
     mkdir ~/bin
     0install add opam http://tools.ocaml.org/opam.xml
     opam init --comp=4.02.3
     eval `opam config env`
    
  2. Install mirage, pinning a few unreleased features we need:

     opam pin add -y mirage-xen 'https://github.com/talex5/mirage-platform.git#mm'
     opam pin add -y mirage-clock-xen https://github.com/mirage/mirage-clock.git
     opam pin add -y mirage-net-xen 'https://github.com/talex5/mirage-net-xen.git#disconnect'
     opam pin add -y tcpip https://github.com/mirage/mirage-tcpip.git
     opam pin add -y mirage-qubes https://github.com/talex5/mirage-qubes.git
     opam pin add -y mirage-nat 'https://github.com/talex5/mirage-nat.git#simplify-checksum'
     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
    

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
