Convert AppVM to Standalone in 4.0?

Just wondering if this is possible. I can’t find any documentation of readily accessible menu options to do it. I have an AppVM that I decided would better served me as a standalone and would like to avoid setting up a completely new qube if possible.

Maybe I could make a standalone VM from the same template and then somehow copy the rest of the system in from my AppVM?

I am curious about that too

I guess you can create an empty standalone qube based on the same template as your app qube, change it’s private storage size to be the same as your app qube’s and then use dd to write the app qube’s private storage disk to the standalone qube’s private storage disk e.g. in dom0:

sudo dd if=/dev/mapper/qubes_dom0-vm--MyAppQube--private of=/dev/mapper/qubes_dom0-vm--MyStandaloneQube--private bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync
