Long Wiki Edits Thread

Added “Spawning DispVMs from other AppVMs” to Qubes/DispVM. This TODO is not complete. Creating Named Whonix DispVM Based on Whonix-Workstation complicates this a bit.

For example, if the name-dispvm is not running it is possible to use (Qubes secure copy) qvm-copy some-file to the named-dispvm even if it is not running or defaut_dispvm for that AppVM. The named-dispvm will start just like a normal VM to receive the file. This is not normal DispVM behavior?

Also of concern if the name-dispvms have to be shut down like a normal AppVM. Meaning the following does not apply.

A DispVM automatically shuts down when the first user-launched process is terminated

I’ll be working on documenting named-dispvm next. And finishing the TODOs.

Opps almost forgot.
