Description
Qusal is a Free and Open Source security-focused project that provides SaltStack Formulas for Qubes OS users to complete various daily tasks, such as web browsing, video-calls, remote administration, coding, network tunnels and much more, which are easy to install and maintains low attack surface.
We not only provide a single solution for each project, but also provides alternative when they differ, such as for networking, you could use a VPN, DNS Sink-hole, Mirage Unikernel or the standard Qubes Firewall for managing the network chain and the connections the clients connected to these NetVMs are allowed to make.
Here are some of the Global Preferences we can manage:
- clockvm: disp-sys-net, sys-net
- default_audiovm: disp-sys-audio
- default_dispvm: dvm-reader
- default_netvm: sys-pihole, sys-firewall or disp-sys-firewall
- management_dispvm: dvm-mgmt
- updatevm: sys-pihole, sys-firewall or disp-sys-firewall
Installation
See the installation instructions.
Usage
After installing Qusal, please read the README.md of each project in the salt directory you desire install. If you are unsure how to start, get some ideas from our bootstrap guide.
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, conflicting configurations will be overwritten. To enforce your state, write a SaltFile to specify the desired state and call it after the ones provided by this project.
If you want to edit the access control of any service, you
should always use the Qrexec policy at /etc/qubes/policy.d/30-user.policy,
as this file will take precedence over the packaged policies.
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 to a 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.
