Inform users that for specific distros and versions, we install some
extra packages (PySide6, conmon), in order to fix some incompatibilities
between Dangerzone and the base system. Provide also a link to the
source / build instructions for the package, as well as any relevant
issues.
Fixes#767
Add a section for our end-users in INSTALL.md, that explains how to
verify that our Dangerzone assets have been signed by our advertised
signing key.
This section explains what are the .asc files that users see next to our
release assets, and how they can verify each asset individually using
GPG. It is heavily inspired by a similar section for OnionShare.
Closes#761
Now that we can create a Dangerzone RPM that depends on PySide6, we can
officially support Fedora 39 as a platform. Add this platform in our CI
tests, as well as our install/release notes.
Fixes#606
Create a new GitHub Actions workflow which aims to continuously test our
official installation instructions. The way we do it is the following:
1. Create two jobs, one for the Debian-based distros, and one for Fedora
ones.
2. Copy the instructions from INSTALL.md into each job.
3. Create a matrix that runs the installation jobs in parallel, for each
supported distro and version.
The jobs will run only on 00:00 UTC, and not on every PR, since it
wouldn't make sense otherwise.
Fix#653
In Qubes the disposable netVM is internet connected. For this reason,
on Qubes we chose create our own disposable VM (dz-dvm). However, in
reality this could still be bypassed since dz-dvm had the default
disposable dispvm.
By setting the default_dispvm to '' we prevent this bypass. For VMs
users who have already followed the setup instructions, the following
command should (to be ran in dom0) will fix this issue:
qvm-prefs dz-dvm default_dispvm ''
Add instructions for installing Dangerzone on Qubes from our official
repos. These instructions are adapted from the build instructions, but
have been greatly simplified because we don't need some of the qubes
that the development environment needs.
Closes#431
Makes it clear that one needs to install Docker for Desktop to use Dangerzone
on Mac or Windows and Podman on linux. The app itself will warn the user about
this, but we should state the prerequisites more clearly upfront.
Mentions mac and windows in INSTALL.md so that anyone reading this page does
not wrongly assume that Dangerzone is a Linux-only app.
Fixes#475
The Ubuntu 23.04 docker image includes a user by default (ubuntu) which
overtakes the 1000 uid and so our user becomes 1001 which makes the user
directory unwritable. The solution as suggested in [1] was to remove
that user.

Replace references to github.com/firstlookmedia with
github.com/freedomofpress, since the ownership of these repos has been
transferred to the Freedom of the Press Foundation.
Add extra installations steps for installing Podman in Ubuntu Focal,
since it's not present in the official Ubuntu repos. This is the final
requirement to reinstate Ubuntu Focal support.
Closes#206
Report some Linux versions that were recently supported (Debian 12 /
Fedora 37) in the installation instructions. These instructions where
copied from the Dangerzone wiki, which is why the recently supported
versions were missing.
Copy installation instructions from the Dangerzone wiki [1] into the
Dangerzone source. This has several benefits:
1. Devs can update installation instructions as part of a PR.
2. Users can see installation instructions for previous releases.
The last point is important, because we can update our instructions in
the main branch, without affecting the instructions a user follows from
the website (currently pointing to the Dangerzone Wiki).
