This mirrors my experience, AppVMs don’t inherit the homedir. I believe that the design has changed (i.e. the docs are outdated). Template VMs are means to be used purely for its operating system and the software going with it, the homedir should have no personal data or app-configs because you should not use the template for anything other than updating packages. Notice that disposable VMs no longer use templateVMs, they are based on an AppVM instead. You will likely end up creating an AppVM which will be a template for disposable VMs launched by the system. -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
