I tried added a key file and even a password txt but both lead to it still asking for me to type in the password.
Is it because the drive is encrypted? I tried placing the files at /, /boot, /root, /etc
Edit1: I’ve tried to install dropbear and give it ssh keys. I will try to reboot in the morning and see what happens
Edit2: signing in via ssh just says port 22 rejected not working :(
Edit3: neither dropbear for ssh or keyfile worked. I give up.
What’s your setup and your goal?
Another comment made me think unlocking via ssh would be good too
Goal is to boot when I’m away if UPS loses power. Setup is a fedora server with /dev/sda3 encrypted, the whole drive. I want it to auto unlock when I cannot type it in myself.
/dev/sda3would be one partition no?Is this a NAS by chance? What I do is I have the boot and root partitions unencrypted but all my files, media, etc are encrypted. If the power goes out I SSH in, mount it and start up file sharing services. Sure it’s a bit tedious, but at least if someone breaks into my apartment and runs off with my drives they won’t see the actual contents.
