Template's rc.local to be copied to AppVMs?

[dreamscomethrough]

I want my AppVMs to copy the rc.local from the template they are created upon. How do I do this?
For example, I’m creating a my-template(a template) and modify the rc.local to whatever I want. Then, I create my-appvm based on that template, and I want that my-appvm to have the rc.local I defined at my-template.

I need something like skel directory but so it will affect the rc.local file.

I think that you can create a systemd service instead?

See this example:

Qubes User Data - utilize `vm.config` to execute scripts at Qube launch, even in DispVMs

Thank you for @ddevz for the inspiration to write this tiny, general-purpose utility! This script is a more “generic” version of what is presented in this thread: Customize a named disposable using the vm-config feature It allows you to add any* script to any VM (including DispVMs) and have it executed at every start. The script can be plaintext or base64-encoded, like in AWS EC2 user-data. More information here: GitHub - Atrate/qubes-user-data: Execute dom0-configured scripts in Disposable V…

Yeah, I just thought maybe there’s something like /etc/skel, but I guess there is none. Thanks
