This could use a technical revision (and maybe also some formatting enhancements). Very old page.
-
We shouldn’t ever set template to fedora or anything unrelated. Users forget about it and then boot with the wrong template. (example: Tor can't start (After Qubes Whonix templates Reinstall) - [warn] Directory /var/lib/tor/.tor cannot be read: Permission denied - #3 by vimuz)
-
Use a
dummy template
(as mentioned on Redirecting…) instead. -
“Option 1b. Removing VMs with TemplateVM”
Not sure that makes sense there. Perhaps more logical to split into separate chapters Remove Whonix TemplateBased VMs
and Uninstall Whonix TemplateVMs
?
- strange options / strange writing style
Option 2a. Uninstall Whonix-Gateway TemplateVM
Option 2b. Uninstall Whonix-Workstation TemplateVM
-
- Remove the Whonix Workstation DisposableVM Template
That has to be done before Uninstall Whonix-Workstation TemplateVM
?
- checking overall if all of instructions are working at all
for Qubes reinstall from Qubes-Whonix ™ Overview we currently link to:
- Does that work for Whonix as is?
- Worth having a page in Whonix wiki that is Whonix specific and R4.0 only?
- Can users re-install (some) Whonix templates over Tor (Whonix)?
