Talk: Remote disk unlocking

From NixOS Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Hi folks, thanks for the article. I followed it and managed to set up remote disk unlocking successfully.

I noticed one little gotcha: The shell has to be configured slightly differently[^1]. Should be: 

 boot.initrd.network.ssh.shell = "/bin/cryptsetup-askpass";

Instead of: 

 boot.initrd.systemd.users.root.shell = "/bin/cryptsetup-askpass";

The mentioned config does not seem to have any effect.

This seems have been changed on purpose[^2] but I as said, it has no effect on nixos-unstable as of today. Note that I'm not using an initrd based on systemd.

@St3iny: If you feel that your way is better/correct/correct (at least for current unstable) I'd say just go ahead and edit the article to reflect it 👍
