Hey, I am trying to design a system that does an unattended install of Qubes OS and then runs Ansible playbooks on the various template VMs. I am also trying to figure out how to automatically add HVMs using VirtualBox boxes stored on VagrantUp.com so I can run Packer-built images as HVMs.
I have had trouble finding people who are interested in developing Qubes stuff so I figured I would post here in case there’s anyone that already knows how to do this stuff or is already using Qubes and wants some incentive to do stuff that would benefit them as well.
Let me know if you are interested and how I can contact you.
Thanks for the response. I wanted to use VagrantUp.com as the source of the VM images but I’m unsure how I can convert the VirtualBox .box file to the .ova file that Qubes expects. This would open up a world of possibilities if we could use images from VagrantUp.
Hey @arkenoi – I don’t mind making the CLI (or the GUI) but I’m still unsure how to get the .ova file.
Also, I can make the GUI with Electron but I still have not heard whether or not including Node.js is ok. IMO, it should power everything on the GUI so that people can style Qubes. Also, it might open the door for a future where the system menus can run in the browser :>.
Sweet… thanks! That’ll be useful. I’m interested in building out a simple UI prototype… do you know who can enlighten me on the best way of making a tray menu? I’d like to use Electron but I’m open to anything really.
