Ask HN: LUKS Disk Encryption Management

2 pointssarcasmatwork2 comments

How are admins dealing with remote LUKS decryption? It's a pain to decrypt on the console when we reboot the machine for patching. I'd rather not have to manually type in the password as that what we are currently doing.

Can this be done from a remote linux machine with pub key access? Just starting to dig into solutions now. Thanks!

This is in a vmware environment with Ubuntu 18/CentOS 8
