Install AppImage Application from Installer Script (Joplin Notes)

Thank you :slight_smile:

For anyone trying to get the proxy to work with scripts that use git clone, I put this in my ~/.gitconfig in the template

[http]
[http "https://github.com"]	
	proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8082

Does it add any security to comment-out the lines in both .gitconfig and .wgetrc, and only temporarily uncomment for specific commands?

Probably not, but you might feel safer.
Any attacker who identifies Qubes and can access a template will know
they can use the proxy.

A related question about /etc/skel ; the install.sh for oh-my-zsh creates ~/.oh-my-zsh/ (the git clone) and .zshrc. I could manually copy both to /etc/skel but after every update I would need to do the same thing. Is there a more elegant solution? Would it work to symlink both, i.e. /etc/skel/.zshrc to ~/.zshrc ?

If a symlink would work, whenever oh-my-zsh has an update I can do it in the template, and not mess up the git clone directory by copying it to /etc/skel/

I doubt a symlink will work because it will be broken in the AppVM, but
you could try.
Since the installer is a script, I’d be amazed if you didn’t have the
option to install where you want. And, yes you do - look at the script
and you’ll see you can call it with ZSH=/etc/skel/.zsh sh install.sh

ZSH is an environment variable with path to the repository folder.
You’d have to deal with .zshrc yourself.
