>Why not use a StandaloneVM ? Had not actually considered a StandaloneVM. Usually use those for Windows, Ubuntu or other OSs. However that might be an option. I wasn't necessarily looking for a clean NextCloud on every restart, but wanted to avoid any other extraneous OS changes that might slip in. I was used to the AppVM model of installing and running various untrusted packages and I have a lot of TemplateVMs where I base those installs. None of those used MySQL or a LAMP setup though. I tried setting up the Admin user and database in the TemplateVM. That works, but then of course when changes are made in the AppVM none of them persist a restart. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
