fai-cd - encryption possibilities

2019-03-22 Thread Justin Cattle
Hi, Has anyone ever though about or implemented some form of encrypted volume within the fai images created using fai-cd ? I'm thinking about some encryption, such that the initramfs or systemd prompts for a password to unlock it. I'm not sure quite how to easy it is to hook into the fai-cd ima

Hi Étienne, Thanks very much for your response. Re-reading my email, I don't think I was clear enough. So I _think_ you may have mis-understood what I was asking. What I actually want to do is, produce an ISO using the fai-cd utility, but make some of the contents of that ISO encrypted. So, n

Hi Thomas, Is there any way of customising the fai-cd process? [ without hacking the scripts ] ? Does it use FAI hooks at all ? Or do you have any other ideas ? Cheers, Just On Fri, 22 Mar 2019 at 22:40, Thomas Lange wrote: > setup-storage is not used during the creation of fai-cd. > -- > re

Yes, those are good alternatives. I've also been considering a debian package with an encrypted blob, and a postinst script that requires user input to decrypt it. Thanks for your suggestions - time for some cogitating :) Cheers, Just On Sat, 23 Mar 2019 at 11:37, Thomas Lange wrote: >
