When we open an attachment from emails, like .odf files and such, and start writing in them, meaning to send the edited file back to the sender. Then there is a slight chance of a person saving the file, closing the editor and then loosing the file because the qube has shut down.
How do you do this? a) Qubes Attachments (thunderbird-qubes) b) qvm-open-in-dvm configured under Files & Attachments in Thunderbird c) saving the file to a folder and invoking qvm-open-in-dvm or equivalent context menu option Your question makes sense with a) & b) On 4/21/21 3:07 PM, Rusty Bird wrote:
Umm, but also: If you open the file in a DisposableVM for editing, don't you already get the modified file back if you just press save and close the DisposableVM window?
This would be scenario c) ... in which case there is no issue as the sending qube now has an updated (edited) version of the file as Rusty Bird points out.
We would like to add a new disposable template in which the disposable vm's will be shut down with a delay of a few minutes,
You could achieve this by combining a named disposable qube [1] with the shutdown script [2] earlier linked by Rusty Bird.
[1] see https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/disposablevm-customization/#create-custom-sys-net-sys-firewall-and-sys-usb-disposablevms as an example. These qubes are disposable (no persistence) but will remain running until you shut them down.
[2] https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-app-shutdown-idle ... available as a package from the standard Qubes OS repo.
