Description
-----------
This command is used to manually manage the *features* of the domain. The
features are key-value pairs with both key and value being strings. They are
used by extensions to store information about the domain and make policy
decisions based on them. For example, they may indicate that some specific
software package was installed inside the template and the domains based on it
have some specific capability.
.. warning::
The features are normally managed by the extensions themselves and you should
not change them directly. Strange things might happen otherwise.
Some extensions interpret the values as boolean. In this case, the empty string
means :py:obj:`False` and non-empty string (commonly ``'1'``) means
:py:obj:`True`. An absence of the feature means "default", which is
extension-dependent. In most cases the default value for feature is retrieved
from a qube template.
List of known features
----------------------
.. warning::
This list of features may be incomplete, because extensions are free to use any
values, without registering them anywhere.
gui
^^^
Qube provide any kind of GUI. Setting this feature to :py:obj:`False` disable
GUI for given qubes - both gui-agent based and emulated VGA based one. Setting
this feature to :py:obj:`True` enable gui-agent based GUI (i.e. with support of
tools installed inside of qube). Not setting this feature at all, enable showing
VGA emulated output.
qrexec
^^^^^^
Qube has qrexec agent installed - i.e. it is possible to request staring a
command/service in there.
rpc-clipboard
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Use `qubes.ClipboardCopy` and `qubes.ClipboardPaste` qubes RPC services to
fetch/send clipboard content from/to this qube, instead of using GUI protocol.
This is supported (and required) by Qubes Windows Tools.
no-monitor-layout
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When set to :py:pbj:`True`, monitor layout is not sent to this qube. That is
avoid calling `qubes.SetMonitorLayout` in this qube.
internal
^^^^^^^^
Internal qubes (with this feature set to :py:obj:`True`) are not included in the
menu.
appmenus-legacy
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Generate legacy menu entries, using `qubes-desktop-run` command inside a VM,
instead of `qubes.StartApp` qrexec service. This is used for qubes imported from
previous Qubes version.
appmenus-dispvm
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Generate menu entries for starting applications in Disposable VM based on given
AppVM, instead of this AppVM directly.
qubes-firewall
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Setting this to :py:obj:`True` means that qube support enforcing firewall rules
set with `qvm-firewall` command.
net.fake-ip
^^^^^^^^^^^
Hide the real IP of the qube from it, and configure it with value set to this
feature. Note that you can assign the same `net.fake-ip` address to multiple
qubes and it shouldn't cause any troubles (unless you want to two such qubes
communicate with each other). This feature does not affect address used in
firewall rules, routing tables etc.
net.fake-gateway
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hide the real gateway of the qube from it, and configure it with value set to
this feature.
net.fake-netmask
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hide the real netmask of the qube from it, and configure it with value set to
this feature.
updates-available
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are updates available.
