I installed Qubes Os 4.2 and I wanted to install Monero Gui, and I was wondering which is the best way to do that, I am not looking anything advance (Isolation) since my threat model is not that high (from 1 to 10 maybe 6), I just want 4/5 monero wallets seperated in different app qubes that work with sys-whonix.
So can I clone debian template (or Whonix) and install monero there and create 5 app qubes, so when I update that debian the wallet gets updated in apps too.
Is this good or I should do something else ?
I am very noob in this area so please talk to me like I am five.
Thank you.
Monero isn’t packaged in Debian afaik, it’s an appimage file that auto updates itself.
I think it’s better to handle the qubes separately without trying to factorize monero within a template due to appimage update process, except if you are short on bandwidth to download it a few times for each update.
@unman included monero in his killer Salt repo (if you’re into that), and references a 3-simple-steps walk-through at getmonero that looks approachable
followed the monero guide but had some problems with socat.
after changing this line socat TCP-LISTEN:18081,fork,bind=127.0.0.1 EXEC:"qrexec-client-vm monerod-ws user.monerod"
to use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 it worked: socat TCP-LISTEN:18081,fork,bind=localhost EXEC:"qrexec-client-vm monerod-ws user.monerod"
I also downloaded the monero wallet gui. It seams to pick up the server without issues. But stuff like stopping and starting the node does not work. Thats why I decided to go into the wallet settings → node → remote node → add localhost with port 18081. Now the wallet seems to be no longer confused and it hides stuff like “stopping/starting node”.
