(Other suggestions for my goals for the > first few weeks are also appreciated!) Yes, this sounds like a good plan. I would recommend leaving GUI for later time in the project as it may be time-consuming and prevent you from finishing the actual mechanism in time (working CLI would already be useful, but GUI that doesn't do anything - not really). > As a side note, since I am currently running R4.0 and may need to switch to > R4.1 for development later, I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade > in-place by, say, installing the built packages in dom0. Generally yes, but the process involve several steps... We have script for that in testing: https://github.com/fepitre/qubes-migration But since quite bit change (dom0 update fc31->fc32) just landed in repos, I'd wait a week or two for things to stabilize. And in any case, do a backup before such upgrade. > Thanks, > > William Huang > > [^1]: <https://github.com/trojan-gfw/trojan> > > [^2]: <https://hackmd.io/@VVl_aGJQRpOYqPE9btxxBA/Hy31fYxvL> > > [^3]: Perhaps this, by itself, is better suited for a Salt config?

Yes, configuring things within a VM is rather a task for salt. But you can totally create VMs and set their properties via Admin API. In fact, all qvm-* tools use Admin API to do their things. It's just not that visible when running in dom0, because policy is bypassed in this case. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
