Whonix requires a critical mass of users to properly test planned updates by enabling the stable-proposed-updates repository. [1] Otherwise, bugs might go undiscovered and be inadvertently introduced into the stable repository.

To ensure a stable Whonix system is available at all times, willing testers should:

  • Create new Whonix-Workstation and Whonix-Gateway TemplateVMs solely for testing.
  • Enable the stable-proposed-updates repository via the Whonix repository tool.
  • Create a clean snapshot (non-Qubes-Whonix) or AppVM (Qubes-Whonix) for each TemplateVM, and perform normal user activities.

Please only report bugs after first searching relevant Whonix forums and developer portals for the problem.

  1. The testers and developers repositories are only recommended for experts or those in touch with Whonix developers.
