Install Signal Desktop and creates an app qube named "signal".
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
* Top:
|
|
|
|

|
|
sudo qubesctl top.enable signal
|
|
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-signal,signal state.appply

<!-- pkg:begin:post-install -->
|
|
|
|
```sh

|
sudo qubesctl state.apply signal.create
|
|
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-signal state.apply signal.install
|
|
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=signal state.apply signal.configure
|

|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
You may use different Signal accounts for different identities, such as
|
|
personal, work or pseudonym. Maintain the `signal` qube pristine and clone it
|
|
to the assigned domain, `personal-signal`, `work-signal`, `anon-signal`. If
|
|
you don't maintain the qube pristine, you will have to apply the firewall
|
|
rules manually.
|
|
|
|
Signal might loose connectivity due to [upstream rotating IP
|
|
addresses](https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007320291) with the
|
|
use of [CDNs to evade
|
|
blocking](https://signal.org/blog/looking-back-on-the-front/).
|
|
You will have to reapply the firewall rules eventually.
|
|
|
|
TODO: Is it worth using the firewall? If you allow all [cloudfront.net
|
|
IPs](https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json) for region "GLOBAL", what
|
|
is blocking an attacker from using that to host his malicious callback server?
|
|
Recently (2023-11-11) signal stopped working with the current firewall.
