I just did it the other day. The one piece of information that's missing in the 
documentation is that for curl to work the template needs to have a netvm. 
Normally you want your templates to be offline and only use the UpdateProxy to 
install software. Here step-by-step:


dom0# qvm-prefs debian-10 netvm sys-firewall

debian-10# curl -s https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | sudo 
apt-key add -

dom0# qvm-prefs debian-10 netvm ''

debian-10# echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial 
main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list

debian-10# sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop

That's it!

If you decide that giving your template a netvm for a moment is a risk you 
don't want to take, then you have to download 
https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc in a browser VM and copy it 
over to the template. You can then simply run:

debian-10# echo keys.asc | sudo apt-key add - 

I'll submit a PR later today to update the website.
