Over time, you may need to increase disk space or prune outdated Docker images if you run into build issues on this VM. Create a Debian or Fedora-based development standalone qube with at least
8GB of private storage space, and follow the relevant instructions above for
the respective template.
Remember to set the environment variable `DZ_USE_CONTAINERS=1`, before executing
Dangerzone.

### Initial Setup
The following steps must be completed once. Make sure you run them in the
specified qubes.
#### In `dom0`
1. Create a new Fedora **template** (`fedora-37-dz`) for Dangerzone development:
```
qvm-clone fedora-37 fedora-37-dz
```
> :bulb: Alternatively, you can use your base Fedora 37 template in the
> following instructions. In that case, replace `fedora-37-dz` with
> `fedora-37` in the steps below.
2. Create a **disposable**, offline app qube (`dz-dvm`), based on the
`fedora-37-dz` template. This will be the qube where the documents will be
sanitized:
```
qvm-create --class AppVM --label red --template fedora-37-dz \
--prop netvm="" --prop template_for_dispvms=True \
dz-dvm
```
3. Create an **app** qube (`dz`) that will be used for Dangerzone development
and initiating the sanitization process:
```
qvm-create --class AppVM --label red --template fedora-37-dz dz
```
> :bulb: Alternatively, you can use a different app qube for Dangerzone
> development. In that case, replace `dz` with the qube of your choice in the
> steps below.
4. Add an RPC policy (`/etc/qubes/policy.d/50-dangerzone.policy`) that will
allow launching a disposable qube (`dz-dvm`) when Dangerzone converts a
document, with the following contents:
```
dz.Convert * @anyvm @dispvm:dz-dvm allow
dz.ConvertDev * @anyvm @dispvm:dz-dvm allow
```
#### In the `fedora-37-dz` template
1. Install dependencies:
```
sudo dnf install -y rpm-build pipx qt5-qtbase-gui libreoffice python3-magic \
tesseract*
```
2. Shutdown the `fedora-37-dz` template:
```
shutdown -h now
```
#### In the `dz` app qube
1. Clone the Dangerzone project:
```
git clone https://github.com/freedomofpress/dangerzone
```
2. Install Poetry using `pipx`:
```sh
pipx install poetry
```
3. Change to the `dangerzone` folder, and install the poetry dependencies:
```
poetry install
```
> **Note**: due to an issue with
> [poetry](https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/1917), if it
> prompts for your keyring, disable the keyring with `keyring --disable` and
> run the command again.
4. Change to the `dangerzone` folder and copy the Qubes RPC calls into the
template for the **disposable** qube that will be used for document
sanitization (`dz-dvm`):
```
qvm-copy-to-vm dz-dvm qubes/
```
#### In the `dz-dvm` template
1. Create the directory that will contain the Dangerzone RPC calls, if it does
not exist already:
```
sudo mkdir -p /rw/usrlocal/etc/qubes-rpc/
```
2. Move the files we copied in the previous step to their proper place:
```
sudo cp ~/QubesIncoming/dz/qubes/* /rw/usrlocal/etc/qubes-rpc/
```
3. Shutdown the `dz-dvm` template:
```
shutdown -h now
```
### Developing Dangerzone
From here on, developing Dangerzone is similar as in other Linux platforms. You
can run the following commands in the `dz` app qube:
```sh
# start a shell in the virtual environment
poetry shell
# run the CLI
./dev_scripts/dangerzone-cli --help
# run the GUI
./dev_scripts/dangerzone
```
Create a .rpm:
```sh
./install/linux/build-rpm.py --qubes
```
For changes in the server side components, you can simply edit them locally,
and they will be mirrored to the disposable qube through the `dz.ConvertDev`
RPC call.
The only reason to update the `fedora-37-dz` template from there on is if:
1. The project requires new server-side components.
2. The code for `dz.ConvertDev` needs to be updated. Copy the updated file
as we've shown in the steps above.
### Installing Dangerzone system-wide
If you want to test the .rpm you just created, you can do the following:
On the `dz` app cube, copy the built `dangerzone.rpm` to `fedora-37-dz`
template:
```
qvm-copy-to-vm fedora-37-dz dist/dangerzone*.noarch.rpm
```
On the `fedora-37-dz` template, install the copied .rpm:
```
sudo dnf install -y ~/QubesIncoming/dz/dangerzone-*.rpm
```
Shutdown the `fedora-37-dz` template and the `dz` app qube, and then you can
refresh the applications on the `dz` qube, find Dangerzone in the list, and use
it to convert a document.
