How to set the template of sys-net to debian-minimal?

Okay. I managed to get it working. Here I am writing the step by step instructions: Install debian-11-minimal template. Clone it into a new template and remove the original downloaded template: (in dom0) $ qvm-template install debian-11-minimal (in dom0) $ qvm-clone debian-11-minimal deb11min-net (in dom0) $ qvm-remove -f debian-11-minimal Here, deb11min-net template is the one we will modify and use for our network connection needs for sys-net.

Well, you’ll also need to set “Net qube” to none,Mode to “HVM”,

Alternatively, run :
qubesctl state.apply qvm.sys-net

I suggest you clone the exiting sys-net before deleting it.

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum or in the mailing lists I speak for myself.

Running ethernet sys-net in PVH mode

After several months of learning Qubes, I realized that the ethernet sys-net (not to say wifi) is the weakest link in Qubes, only to find out that it was already been discussed here, which proves what I concluded: I decided to start a new topic due to its visibility and the idea I got, but please merge it with above if you find it more appropriate. Now, after thinking through and reading a lot, these are the facts: Ethernet is safer than internal or external wifi. Ethernet sys-net has t…

Problem is that I have that template installed. But maybe I will try reinstalling it.

Ok. Figured it out. Just change default template to fedora and run qubesctl without a pillars enabled.

Is it possible to change default settings to create disposable sys-net using salt?
