Template issue

User Support
1

In a template, I have created the directory /home/user/devapps. The directory contains both subdirectories and files.

Furthermore, I have created the file /etc/qubes-bind-dirs.d/devapps.bind with the following content:
/home/user/devapps /rw/bind-dirs/devapps none ro,bind 0 0

When I create an AppVM based on this template, the directory with its files cannot be found there. What am I missing?

Files in a template’s /home directory aren’t inherited. You have to put them in /etc/skel instead.
