I am planning to move from my Whonix 13 to Whonix 14 on Qubes. My
question is what way it should be easier, based on the Q user
experiences. What would you propose - upgrade or re-install? Are
there any known issues which would call for one or other way?
Re-install is usually easier.
I have few VMs based on the Whonix template with data and
settings on it. Will the contents of these VMs remain, or will
it be destroyed - re-install vs upgrade?
Contents should remain, just set them to the new Whonix template.
Make sure to back up everything first.
The installation guide [1] states:
"Re-installation will destroy any existing user data stored in Whonix
VMs, unless it is backed up first. To avoid this scenario, it is
possible to upgrade Whonix 13 to 14 instead of following these
instructions."
This was puzzling to me, too, since TemplateVM upgrades usually don't
affect user data in TemplateBasedVMs. Could you shed some light on
this, Patrick?
What I did: Cloned the old whonix-ws template, switched appvms to the
clone, then did 'dnf remove' on the old templates and finally performed
the recommended whonix install procedure.
Later, I was able to switch existing whonix appVMs to whonix-ws-14.
