My salted setup includes provisioning of custom templates that derive from the repository-supplied ones.
The corresponding *.sls looks like so:
{% set templates = {
'archlinux-aur': {
'source': 'archlinux',
'label': 'red',
'root_volume_size': '20GiB',
'Comment': 'Archlinux template WITH AUR capabilities'},
'debian-12-teamviewer': {
'source': 'debian-12',
'label': 'red',
'Comment': 'Template for disposable teamviewer infrastructure'},
'fedora-38-dev': {
'source': 'fedora-38',
'root_volume_size': '20GiB',
'Comment': 'Development dedicated template'},
'fedora-38-cups': {
'source': 'fedora-38',
'label': 'red',
'root_volume_size': '12GiB',
'netvm': 'sys-firewall',
'icon': 'templatevm-red',
'Comment': 'Template dedicated to printing/scanning'}}
%}
{% set default_root_volume_size = '10GiB' %}
# Assure prior run of *.sls guaranteeing package presence
include:
- custom_dom0.dom0_assert_template_pkgs_presence
{% for tpl in templates %}
clone the template {{ tpl }}:
qvm.clone:
- require:
- sls: custom_dom0.dom0_assert_template_pkgs_presence
- name: {{ tpl }}
- source: {{ templates[tpl]['source'] }}
- label: {{ templates[tpl]['label']|default('--default') }}
configure the root volume size of {{ tpl }}:
cmd.run:
- name: 'qvm-volume extend {{ tpl }}:root {{ templates[tpl]['root_volume_size']|default(default_root_volume_size) }}'
set qubes preferences for {{ tpl }}:
qvm.prefs:
- name: {{ tpl }}
- netvm: {{ templates[tpl]['netvm']|default('--default') }}
- icon: {{ templates[tpl]['icon']|default('--default') }}
{% endfor %}
This appears to work just fine BUT for the call to the qvm.prefs state, which for each iteration of the for loop produces an error along the lines of
qubesadmin.exc.QubesValueError: VM name contains illegal characters
which is peculiar, as calls to the states qvm.clone & cmd.run in the same loop make also use of the {{ tpl }} construct likely to blame here …
Did I find a bug?
