Customized rc.local from template

[19hundreds]

I would like to distribute a customize rc.local to all the AppVM generated from a template.

Inside the template where can I find the rc.local file that will be distributed to the AppVM?

I suppose it's contained in an image file but I have no clue where to look for it

I might be missing something, but if you create one in /etc, it should
get inherited by all AppVMs based on that template. See
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/#important-notes-r40.

Also see https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/config-files/, but that's if you
want to set up separate `rc.local`s by AppVM.

hmm wait, I don't see how /etc/rc.local maps on /rw/config/rc.local in AppVMs

Am I being stupider than usual?

Thanks for this link. It doesn't help me in this specific case but I had forgotten of bind-dirs

It doesn't map, but you can have multiple scripts, right? Make a
template one in /etc (call it /etc/rc.templatelocal maybe) like you
would in any regular Linux, and customize the separate one as needed per
AppVM. You're taking advantage of AppVMs inheriting almost everything
from their template.
