[Guide] Openbazaar in Whonix AppVM - Qubes 4.0

Hello reddit/DNM community.

OpenBazaar & Qubes seems to be the 2 next level things to come. After some researches here & there I managed to get those working with Whonix, in the way it's meant for in Qubes... I'm using Qubes 4.0 RC for this (surely same way in 3.2)

All credit to /r/wombat2combat for original whonix guide, and /r/Overgrowth_Vendor for Qubes/linux
But it seems that it was lacking for the assembly of both.So here is my little stone.

Starting from a "Clean & New" Qubes OS 4.0 install, with Whonix packages

We now have a fully functionnal Template for Openbazaar, based on Whonix workstation which will not interfere with original whonix-ws one...
But don't launch Openbazaar from here. That's not what templatesVM in Qubes are meant for. Let's create a Domain & AppVM !

This permits to monitor what's going on in the backend..

That's all folks ! Openbazaar is now isolated on it's own qube and networking is done directly trough TOR (via "sys-whonix)

Remember to ALWAYS start Openbazaar from the AppVM under domain named "OB-vm", and NEVER, from the "OB-template" (which should not be allocated any networking).

I think I'm having a panic attack.

Just realized why some of it didn't make sense. How do you like Qubes 4.0?

Sorry if this is a dump question, but what advantages does Whonix have over Tails? Can OB not be accessed through Tor in Tails?
