OpenBSD template

General Discussion
1

I’ve uploaded an OpenBSD template to https://qubes.3isec.org/ if any one
is interested.
If you want to give it a try, please read this page

You must set virt_mode to hvm, and initialise the private storage with
newfs sd1c on first boot.
You can configure networking in the qube using information from the
qube settings, and creating two files in /home/config to hold the IP
address and the netvm IP.
Otherwise it’s a vanilla OpenBSD install.

No support for qrexec and updates yet?

That isnt the link to a template on the server: I dont know where you
got it from.
Use one or other of the methods on the templates page

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