media

Media opener through disposables in Qubes OS.

Table of Contents

Description

Creates the offline "media" qube for storing multimedia files and open the files in a named disposable "disp-media" via MIME configuration.

Installation

  • Top:
qubesctl top.enable media
qubesctl --targets=tpl-media,media state.apply
qubesctl top.disable media
  • State:
qubesctl state.apply media.create
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-media state.apply media.install
qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=media state.apply media.configure

Usage

You will store multimedia files in the "media" qube. When you try to open a file in that qube, it will open instead in the disposable "disp-media".

No file browser is installed in the "media" qube as code execution exploits in file browsers are common when rendering thumbnails, indexing file name, automatically running scripts saved in the home directory. You are open to forward files from the "media" qube to "disp-media" by running xdg-open /path/file or more explicitly, qvm-open-in-dvm /path/file.
