Running Bisq on Qubes From Bisq Wiki Jump to navigation Jump to search This guide shows how to run Bisq in a dedicated qube in QubesOS . The steps were tested using QubesOS 4.0.3 and a Bisq qube based on the debian-10 template. Contents 1 How to setup 1.1 In dom0 1.1.1 Create qube 1.2 In dedicated qube 1.2.1 Create binding dirs 1.2.2 Configure binding dirs 1.2.3 Install Bisq 1.2.4 Download Debian package 1.2.4.1 Verify PGP signature 1.2.4.2 Install package 2 How to run 2.1 From dedicated qube 2.2 From dom0 3 Further reading 4 References How to setup In dom0 Execute the following steps in dom0. Create qube Create a new dedicated qube called bisq-vm based on the debian-10 template. Q Menu > Create Qubes VM > Qube based on a template Template: choose debian-10 Check "Launch settings after creation" Press OK Within a few seconds, the qube is created and the Qube Settings popup opens. Adjust it as follows: Basic > Disk Storage Set "Private Storage max size" to at least 5000 MiB [1] Advanced > Memory / CPU Set "Initial memory" to 6000 MB [2] Set "vCPUs no." to 4 Uncheck "Include in memory balancing" [3] Press OK In dedicated qube Execute the following steps in the bisq-vm qube. Create binding dirs Create the binding dirs needed for the Bisq installation: sudo mkdir -p /rw/bind-dirs/opt/bisq sudo mkdir -p /rw/bind-dirs/usr/share/desktop-directories Restart the qube to apply the binding dir settings. Configure binding dirs Setup the binding dirs mapping for the system folders needed for the Bisq installation: sudo mkdir -p /rw/config/qubes-bind-dirs.d Specify which system folders are mapped to binding dirs. To do that, create the configuration file: sudo nano /rw/config/qubes-bind-dirs.d/50_user.conf and populate it with the following lines [5] : binds+=( '/opt/bisq' ) binds+=( '/usr/share/desktop-directories' ) Install Bisq Download Debian package Go to the Bisq Downloads page and download the Debian package and the corresponding PGP signature. Verify PGP signature Check that the downloaded package matches the signature [4]. Assuming the files were downloaded in the Downloads folder: # Go to the folder where you downloaded the .deb package and the PGP signature cd Downloads # Import the signing key of Alejandro Garcia (alejandrogarcia83) curl https://bisq.network/pubkey/E222AA02.asc | gpg --import # Verify the signature of the downloaded binary gpg --digest-algo SHA256 --verify Bisq-*.asc Install package sudo dpkg -i Bisq-*.deb Once this command finishes, Bisq is installed and ready to run. How to run From dedicated qube Bisq can be started by running /opt/bisq/bin/Bisq in the bisq-vm qube. From dom0 To start Bisq directly from dom0, a keyboard shortcut can be defined: Q Menu > System Tools > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts Add a shortcut where the command has the format qvm-run -q -a For example, in our case: qvm-run -q -a bisq-vm /opt/bisq/bin/Bisq Assign a system-wide key combination for starting Bisq For example Ctrl+Alt+B Press OK Now pressing the key combination anywhere in QubesOS will automatically start the Bisq application. Further reading See Qubes tutorial for what binding dirs are and how they work See Qubes documentation for how memory balancing works See https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Bisq for a similar setup guide for a Whonix Qube References [1] Assuming you only use this Qube for Bisq, this amount of storage will be used for all Bisq files (downloaded installer, installation folder, your local Bisq settings and profile, your Bisq wallet, Bisq logs, etc). Therefore it is important to have enough disk space available, because if Bisq runs out of storage space, this may lead to data corruption and loss of funds. For reference: A fresh Qube containing only a fully sync-ed new installation of Bisq 1.3.6, with no trades / accounts / balances, uses about 1GB of space. [2] Bisq needs 4 GB, the rest is for other OS processes. [3] This will ensure that the RAM allocated to this qube is not shared with other Qubes. [4] For more details, see Verifications section on the Bisq GitHub releases page [5] The /usr/share/desktop-directories is not really used, but is required during installation.
