KeePassXC (with Yubikey)

Qubes OS - minimal installation

Official installation instructions: : apt install keepassxc Installation type: included in debian standard Qubes OS release : 4.1 Debian release : 11 Required packages :

UI settings (not mandatory) to make KeePassXC looks like the system theme * qt5-style-plugins * gtk2-engines-murrine * QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2

Comments : It is not mandatory but highly recommended to install KeePassXC on a network off AppVM (vault, secrets etc.). This AppVM is also mostly used for split-GPG and split-SSH. This setup has been tested with Yubikey, it should also work with other hardware token keys (Challenger Response / hmac-sha1 method).

Signal, Session, Element ...

Qubes OS - minimal installation

Official installation instructions: :

Signal - Download for Linux

Session - Download for Linux

Element - Download for Linux

Installation type: apt repository (requires gpg key) Qubes OS release : 4.1 Debian release : 11 Required packages :

Remark

There are many ways to download the apt key. * You can either use wget or curl. Both do the download but have a different syntax. It is recommended to use the tool which is used in the official installation instruction. * If you are concerned about your security or if you want to keep the installation as small as possible you can i. e. remove curl right after the gpg download or skip the curl installation and do the gpg download in a different AppVM and afterwards move the gpg key to the template VM.

Remark

If you just want to do texting you can skip the pulseaudio-qubes package.
