I cant post my files, but I've put up an example which shows how to create a qube for building Qubes. Here: - https://github.com/unman/notes/tree/master/config/build There are some notes I used in training which are a very basic hands on intro to salt in Qubes: https://github.com/unman/notes/tree/master/salt In the build example,you'll see: 1. Create.sls - Create a new qube: installing fedora-30-minimal if not already there, cloning to new template, using new template to create qube, configure the new qube, and configure dom0. 2. install.sls - installs required software in template. 3. config.sls - Configures new qube as needed. I've broken this down to make it as clear as possible, and kept it simple. You could run each section like: qubesctl state.sls build.create qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=template-builder state.sls build.install qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=builder state.sls build.config Of course, you can do everything here using scripting. But for some things, (like targeting packages and configuration at distro and version), salt is somewhat easier. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
