Current best solution for running bitcoind on an AppVM:
Download the binaries, run bitcoind as `user`
Disadvantages:
- bitcoind runs as the main VM user, no isolation
- no automatic updates of bitcoind
- no systemd service file, have to hack something together with
`rc.local` to get bitcoind to start on VM boot
Nicer approach:
install bitcoind via the Snapcraft Store, so we have systemd
integration, automatic updates, bitcoind running as a separate user
Attempted implementation steps:
- on debian-10 template, `sudo apt install -y snapd qubes-snapd-helper`
- reboot template and appVM
- on VM run `sudo snapd install bitcoin-core`
- reboot VM
Result:
- bitcoind does not appear as a service, `bitcoind` at the command line
produces file-not-foud
Additionally, trying to manually create a `bitcoind` user doesn't work.
After linking /etc/passwd, group, gshadow, passwd-, shadow, subgid,
subuid into bind-dirs using /rw/config/qubes-bind-dirs.d/50_user.conf,
`sudo adduser` produces the error:
$ sudo adduser bitcoind
Adding user `bitcoind' ...
Adding new group `bitcoind' (1001) ...
groupadd: failure while writing changes to /etc/group
adduser: `/sbin/groupadd -g 1001 bitcoind' returned error code 10. Exiting
