# qusal Salt Formulas for Qubes OS. ## Warning **Warning**: Not ready for production, development only. Breaking changes can and will be introduced in the meantime. You've been warned. The following projects are incomplete (not a complete list): - sys-net: can't be provisioned automatically due to the minimal template - sys-firewall: can't be provisioned automatically due to the minimal template - sys-audio: not working on R4.1, waiting for R4.2 - sys-wireguard: unfinished firewall port to nft, waiting for R4.2 - sys-syncthing: broken firewall script functionality with disposable netvm Other projects might also have drastic changes, the above are simply not ready at all. ## Table of Contents * [Description](#description) * [Design](#design) * [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) * [Installation](#installation) * [DomU](#domu) * [Dom0](#dom0) * [Usage](#usage) * [Contribute](#contribute) * [Donate](#donate) * [Support](#support) * [Free Support](#free-support) * [Paid Support](#paid-support) * [Contact](#contact) * [Credits](#credits) * [Legal](#legal) ## Description Qusal providers a Free and Open Source solution to customizing various tasks in Qubes OS, from switching PCI handlers to be disposables or app qubes, installing different pieces of software on dedicated minimal templates for split agent operations for separating the key store from the client. Each project is in a separate directory, but they may interact with other projects. If you want to edit the access control for any service, such as resolution to allow, ask, deny or the intended target, you should always use the Qrexec policy at `/etc/qubes/policy.d/30-user.policy`, as this file will take precedence over the packaged policy. ## Design Every project creates its own template, client and server (when necessary) with only the required packages and configuration. You don't need to use a separate template for everything, but if you want to do that, you will have adjust the target of the qubesctl call or write Salt Top files. Qubes global settings (qubes-prefs) that will be managed: - **clockvm**: disp-sys-net, sys-net - **default_dispvm**: reader - **default_netvm**: sys-pihole, sys-firewall or disp-sys-firewall - **management_dispvm**: dvm-mgmt - **updatevm**: sys-pihole, sys-firewall or disp-sys-firewall To be implemented: - **default_audiovm**: sys-audio - **default_guivm**: sys-gui ## Prerequisites You current setup needs to fulfill the following requisites: - Qubes OS R4.1 - Internet connection ## Installation ### DomU 1. Install `git` in the downloader qube, if it is an AppVM, install it in the TemplateVM. 2. Clone this repository in an app qube: ```sh git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ben-grande/qusal.git ``` If you made a fork, before cloning it, fork the submodule(s). Clone your own project instead of this one, the submodules will be from your fork also. 3. Verify the [commit or tag signature](https://www.qubes-os.org/security/verifying-signatures/#how-to-verify-signatures-on-git-repository-tags-and-commits). ### Dom0 Before copying anything to Dom0, read [Qubes OS warning about consequences of this procedure](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/how-to-copy-from-dom0/#copying-to-dom0). 1. Copy this repository from some qube to Dom0 from Dom0: ```sh mkdir -p ~/QubesIncoming/ qvm-run -p tar -cC qusal | tar -xvC ~/QubesIncoming/ qusal ## Example: mkdir -p ~/QubesIncoming/dev ## Example: qvm-run -p dev tar -cC /home/user qusal | tar -xvC ~/QubesIncoming/dev qusal ``` 2. Copy the project to the Salt directories: ```sh cd ~/QubesIncoming//qusal ./scripts/setup.sh ``` ## Usage Qusal is now installed. Please read the README.md of each project for further information on how to install the desired package. The intended behavior is to enforce the state of qubes and their services. If you modify the qubes and their services and apply the state again, there is a good chance your choices will be overwritten. To enforce your state, write a SaltFile to specify the desired state, do not do it manually, we are past that. The only Qrexec policy file you should change is `/etc/qubes/policy.d/30-user.policy` as this file will take precedence over the ones provided by this project. If you modify the policies provided by Qusal, your changes will be overwritten next time you install/upgrade the packages. Please note that when you allow more Qrexec calls than the default shipped by Qubes OS, you are increasing the attack surface of the target, normally valuable qube that can hold secrets or pristine data. A compromise of the client qube can extend to the server, therefore configure the installation according to your threat model. ## Contribute There are several ways to contribute to this project.

It is difficult to list all licenses and copyrights and keep them up-to-date here. The easiest way to get the copyright and license of the project with the reuse tool: ```sh reuse spdx ``` You can also check these information manually by looking in the file header, a companion `.license` file or in `.reuse/dep5`. All licenses are present in the LICENSES directory. Note that submodules have their own licenses and copyrights statements, please check each one individually using the same methods described above for a full statement.
