how to emacs on dom0

[Sake]

Hello,

I am looking for setup emacs in dom0, especially with EXWM.

I know I can setup it in a WM and then pass it manually to dom0;

I wonder how to do it more smarter and secure?

You can install any program you like in dom0, but this is generally
discouraged for security reasons. (A malicious program in dom0 could
potentially take over the entire system.)

Why would you want to do this? What goal are you actually trying to
achieve? (This sounds like an XY problem.)

Use Emacs in an AppVM.

Yes, i understand than installing more packages in dom0 is not advised.
However, it seems there is not so many to install for being able to use
emacs as an efficient window manager.

EXWM emacs'package can act as a Windows Manager, I have already I3wm
installed (which is very appreciable, I had to say) but I wish to switch
to EXWM.
Surely i did not understand in detail all the security involved by
qubes-dom0-update and emacs packaging system.
For now all I imagine is using a dedicated VM with a dedicated template
for homebrewing my emacs dom0-config and hopefully restrain risks
