Personal ArchLinux package combining dropbear and cryptsetup in initrd for unlocking LUKS-encrypted devices either locally (boot console) or remotely over SSH.
|
|
The code was reworked from [dropbear_initrd_encrypt](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbear_initrd_encrypt/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
After cloning the repo, installation is done as for an AUR package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
As explained upon installation, the following things need to be done:
|
|
* add the SSH public key to `/etc/dropbear/initrd.authorized_keys`
|
|
* add the `ip=` kernel command parameter to the bootloader configuration (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio#Using_net)
|
|
* in the `HOOKS` section of `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`, add `ssh-cryptsetup` before `filesystems`; then rebuild the initramfs: `mkinitcpio -p linux`
|
|
- when using a non-standard keyboard layout, it is also useful to add the `keymap` hook before `ssh-cryptsetup`
|
|
|
|
The LUKS-encrypted devices to unlock are derived from `/etc/crypttab`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some options can be set in `/etc/initcpio/sshcs_env` (file is sourced in initrd shell):
|
|
* `sshcs_opt_debug`: whether to be more verbose about ongoing actions
|
|
- default: 0
|
|
- any non-zero value to enable
|
|
* `sshcs_opt_timeout_ipconfig`: time (in seconds) to configure IP
|
|
- default: 10 seconds
|
|
* `sshcs_opt_listen`: SSH listening port
|
|
- default: 22
|
|
* `sshcs_opt_timeout_poweroff`: time (in seconds) to unlock devices before automatic powering off
|
|
- default (and minimum value): 2 minutes
|
|
- negative value to deactivate
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
sshcs_opt_timeout_ipconfig=30
|
|
sshcs_opt_listen=2222
|
|
sshcs_opt_timeout_poweroff=-1
|
|
|
|

|
## Building notes
|
|
1. Modify the sources (features in `src`, and/or package building files)
|
|
2. If `src` was modified
|
|
* archive the `src` folder in `$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.xz` file; e.g.: `tar -cJf initrd-ssh-cryptsetup-0.4.tar.xz src`
|
|
* upload the archive on the online repository (pointed by `PKGBUILD`)
|
|
3. Update `PKGBUILD`
|
|
* bump `pkgver` if `src` was modified, or `pkgrel` if building files were modified
|
|
* refresh `md5sums` if necessary (based on `md5sum initrd-ssh-cryptsetup-*.tar.xz initrd-ssh-cryptsetup.install` output)
|
|
4. Delete generated archive file if any
