It is possible to use any of the available executors: docker, podman, qubes-executor. During installation, after cloning the qubes-builderv2 repository, signatures will be verified and the installation will fail if the signatures couldn't be verified. Packages necessary for split operations such as split-gpg2, spit-git and split-ssh-agent will also be installed. ## Installation The template is based on Fedora Minimal and not Debian Minimal due to the Qubes Executor lacking some dependencies on Debian such as [mock](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1025460). Even if the builder qube was Debian based, the executor qube still needs to be a Fedora template. - Top ```sh sudo qubesctl top.enable qubes-builder sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-qubes-builder,dvm-qubes-builder,qubes-builder state.apply sudo qubesctl top.disable qubes-builder sudo qubesctl state.apply qubes-builder.prefs ``` - State ```sh sudo qubesctl state.apply qubes-builder.create sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-qubes-builder state.apply qubes-builder.install sudo qubesctl state.apply qubes-builder.prefs sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=dvm-qubes-builder state.apply qubes-builder.configure-qubes-executor sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=qubes-builder state.apply qubes-builder.configure ``` ## Access Control The policy is based on `qubes-builderv2/rpc/50-qubesbuilder.policy`. Extra services added are `qubes.Gpg2`, `qusal.GitInit`, `qusal.GitFetch`, `qusal.GitPush`, `qusal.SshAgent`. Necessary services are allowed to have an unattended build. ## Usage ### Pulling new commits The installation will clone the repository but not pull new commits. You will need to pull new commits from time to time, their signature will be automatically verified before merging them to your git index. ### Add PGP public key to qubes-builder GPG home directory If you need to pull commits signed by someone with a key not deployed by default, import their key to the GPG home directory of qubes-builder: ```sh gpg --homedir "$HOME/.gnupg/qubes-builder" --import KEY ``` ### Builder configuration When using the Qubes Executor, configure the `builder.yml` `dispvm` option to either `dom0` or `dvm-qubes-builder`: ```yaml include: - example-configs/desired-config.yml executor: type: qubes options: dispvm: "dom0" #dispvm: "dvm-qubes-builder" ``` Setting the Disposable VM to Dom0 works because it will use the `default_dispvm` preference of `qubes-builder`, which is `dvm-qubes-builder`.
