Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : cryptreboot Version : 0.3.1 Upstream Contact: Pawel Pokrywka <pa...@pawelpokrywka.com> * URL : https://github.com/phantom-node/cryptreboot * License : MIT Programming Lang: Ruby Description : Convenient reboot for Linux systems with encrypted root partition.
It asks for a passphrase and reboots the system afterward, automatically unlocking the drive on startup using in-memory initramfs patching and kexec. Without explicit consent, no secrets are stored on disk, even temporarily. Useful when unlocking the drive at startup is difficult, such as on headless and remote systems. By default, it uses the current kernel command line, /boot/vmlinuz as kernel and /boot/initrd.img as initramfs. Will work properly when using standard passphrase-based disk unlocking. Fancy methods such as using an external USB with a passphrase file will fail.
