Thanks, 799, I'll take a look at them when I get a chance.

Here is a script I am using to rebuild my work-template, which is
based on a fedora template.
The scripts allows me to install a Qubes 3.2 default and then run all
commands to add a new template, update it, install additional packages
and even installs some software (here only the VMware Horizon View
Client) which is not available in the default repositories.
There is some "overhead" in the script as I'd like to run it even
after having it done once.
As such it will also remove any existing VM with the same name
(qvm-destroy).
qvm-destroy is another scripts:
[content of qvm-destroy]
#!/bin/bash
# Kill a running AppVM and remove it
# Usage: qvm-destroy <Name-of-VM>
echo "Killing VM: $1"
qvm-kill $1
echo "Removing VM: $1"
qvm-remove $1
echo "Waiting for 5s (just to be sure)"
sleep 5s
[content of my create-t-fedora-25-work.sh]
#!/bin/bash
templatebasevm=fedora-25
worktemplatevm=t-fedora-25-work
internetvm=my-untrusted
# Install minimal Fedora 25 template
sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-$templatebasevm
# Remove existing Template VM
./qvm-destroy $worktemplatevm
echo "Clone template to $worktemplatevm"
qvm-clone $templatebasevm $worktemplatevm
# Hide original template
qvm-prefs -s $templatebasevm internal true
echo Launch new template-vm $worktemplatevm
qvm-start --skip-if-running --tray $worktemplatevm
echo "Wait for 10sec until Template VM is up"
sleep 10s
echo "Install updates and additional applications in $worktemplatevm"
qvm-run $worktemplatevm 'xterm -e "sudo dnf -y update && \
sudo dnf -y install mc nano pass libreoffice gimp && \
sudo dnf -y install gstreamer gstreamer-plugins-base libffi
libpng12 libXSrnSaver"'
echo "Wait until all packages have been installed."
read -p "Press Enter to continue"
# Download VMware Horizon View
echo "Starting $internetvm to download Horizon View"
qvm-start --tray $internetvm
sleep 10s
# FIXME: the qvm-copy-to-vm has the name of the target template
($worktemplatevm)
# hardcoded, as I didn't find a way to use the variable within this line
qvm-run $internetvm 'xterm -e "cd /home/user && wget
https://download3.vmware.com/software/view/viewclients/CART17Q2/VMware-Horizon-Client-4.5.0-5650368.x64.bundle
&& \
mv VMware-Horizon-Client-4.5.0-5650368.x64.bundle
VMware-Horizon-Client-4.5.0.bundle && \
qvm-copy-to-vm t-fedora-25-work
VMware-Horizon-Client-4.5.0.bundle && \
sleep 10s"'
echo "(qvm-)Copy file VMware-Horizon-Client-4.5.0.bundle from
$internetvm to $worktemplatevm"
read -p "Press Enter to continue"
# Install VMware Horizon View
qvm-run $worktemplatevm 'xterm -e "chmod +x
~/QubesIncoming/my-untrusted/VMware-Horizon-Client-4.5.0.bundle && \
sudo
~/QubesIncoming/my-untrusted/VMware-Horizon-Client-4.5.0.bundle && \
rm
/QubesIncoming/my-untrusted/VMware-Horizon-Client-4.5.0.bundle && \
shutdown -h now"'
You'll find this and also other scripts I use to rebuild my templates
and appvms in the attached archive.
Any improvements are welcome.
I'll try to think if I'll add something like backing up the private
image file and adding it when rebuilding an appvm makes sense.
