g00d Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Hi Steven, thanks for your feedback and thanks again for your suggestion that led me to the right direction. Yeah, the .next file was missing after I did the encryption stuff mentioned here, no clue why. So I wrote everything in detail, maybe the devs can look over it and tell us more and even fix it if there's something to fix. Thanks for the hint about net.ifnames=0 I will try that and report back. I'm happy right now. 0 Quote
pinebook Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 I've just installed to a Pinebook Pro successfully. Bluetooth is not working, but that's acceptable to me. Details here Thank you so much @MMGenfor the script. 0 Quote

mildparanoia Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Hi, MMGen, thank you for your contribution here. I have a Rock Pi 4A+ and am trying to install Armbian to the eMMC module, fully encrypted. After running your script for /dev/mmcblk1 (the eMMC module) I am getting the following error: armbian_rootenc_setup.sh:841: copy_system_root() failed at command 'cryptsetup luksOpen "/dev/$ROOT_DEVNAME" $ROOTFS_NAME' I tried to unlock it manually but it doesn't work: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mmcblk1p2 temp No key available with this passphrase. (Yes I did use the correct key which I entered during the setup script's prompt) Any suggestions on how to fix this? Found the problem; the script isn't creating the encrypted partition correctly. If I make the luks partition manually, the script works. Edited August 6, 2022 by mildparanoia Found solution 0 Quote

Instead of setting up the LUKS partition manually, erasing everything with the -z option might have solved the problem here. Edited September 5, 2022 by MMGen 0 Quote

DIYprojectz Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 Dear @MMGen, Thank you for this wonderful guide! Any chance you could include steps necessary to make this guide work with a non-bootable SSD i.e. sitting on a PCIe to SATA controller? Reading the guide, and @Bagel's comments on it, sadly can't figure out. 0 Quote
MMGen Posted December 12, 2022 Author Posted December 12, 2022 @DIYprojectz: It should be possible to put the encrypted root filesystem on a different device than the boot partition, though I've never tried it with an SoC or Armbian. Thanks for the idea. I promise to look into it, but don't expect immediate results as I'm busy with other things at the moment. 1 Quote
dannyboy Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Just want to say thanks! I always intended to report back, but failed. Script worked great for me back in 2021.Mar.02 on PineA64 that has been running perfectly to this day! Two important points that made me charge down this path (1) encrypt everything (2) ability to remote unlock via SSH after reboots. Looking at my notes (i.e. a wrapper script that calls MMGen's script that does all hard work and is thoroughly commented). It took me 4 attempts and what finally worked, was to rebuild all. ... # Destination device name (e.g. SD card in USB reader) dstDevNm=sda export ROOTFS_NAME=somename export IP_ADDRESS=dhcp export BOOTPART_LABEL=somenameboot export DISK_PASSWD=dontlook export UNLOCKING_USERHOST= # Call main script # # [attempt 1] -s use auth keys file, -v verbose, -z wipe all partitions #./armbian_rootenc_setup.sh -svz $dstDevNm # # [attempt 2] Don't wipe all parts. #./armbian_rootenc_setup.sh -sz $dstDevNm # # [attempt 3] only use auth keys #./armbian_rootenc_setup.sh -s $dstDevNm # # [attempt 4] Complete rebuild [THIS WORKED!] ./armbian_rootenc_setup.sh -fFsvz $dstDevNm ... I will be using this again to upgrade my setup, after getting the new version of MMGen's script. Edited February 9, 2023 by dannyboy upd 0 Quote
Tim Makarios Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Thank you for the excellent tutorial! Just a little simplification: Instead of using the script in step 9.9, I put command="/usr/bin/cryptroot-unlock" at the start of the line in /etc/dropbear-initramfs/authorized_keys, to force that command when SSHing in using that key. 1 Quote

Vasir Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Orangepi5 installed successfully using this process. Did not work on bookworm but worked on Orangepi5_1.1.6_debian_bullseye_server_linux5.10.110 with small modifications. 1 Quote
Tim Makarios Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I used this tutorial as the basis of my own script, which is heavily adapted for my own needs. It worked for me, getting a bookworm CLI image to run on a Libre Computer Renegade. Although I made lots of changes, I think the only ones necessary for getting it to work on a bookworm image were replacing "etc/dropbear-initramfs" with "etc/dropbear/initramfs" twice in step 9.4, and replacing "etc/dropbear-initramfs/config" with "etc/dropbear/initramfs/dropbear.conf" twice in step 9.7. Perhaps this was the problem @Vasir encountered? 1 Quote
MMGen Posted July 9 Author Posted July 9 (edited) The tutorial and automated script have been updated for Debian bookworm and Ubuntu noble images. Here's a summary of the changes required to make everything work: replace eth0 with end0 replace cryptsetup-bin with cryptsetup replace lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img* with lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-* replace etc/dropbear-initramfs with etc/dropbear/initramfs replace etc/dropbear-initramfs/config with etc/dropbear/initramfs/dropbear.conf before exiting the chroot, execute ssh-keygen -A Edited July 10 by MMGen 1 Quote
DIYprojectz Posted September 18 Posted September 18 (edited) @MMGen Got Rock 5B working by following the guide (keyboard unlock only, without SSH - as desired). Thank you very much! However, at least with the following images: * Armbian_24.8.1_Rock-5b_bookworm_current_6.10.6_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop.img.xz * Armbian_24.8.1_Rock-5b_jammy_current_6.10.6_kde-neon-kisak_desktop.img.xz # cat /etc/resolv.conf > etc/resolv.conf does absolutely nothing, have to create the file manually and set desired DNS server there. Edited September 18 by DIYprojectz 1 Quote
MMGen Posted September 27 Author Posted September 27 (edited) @DIYprojectz: Thanks for the feedback and support! First of all, make sure your Internet connection is active as you perform the steps in the tutorial. If it is, you should have a non-empty /etc/resolv.conf file, and the cat command will successfully create a copy of the file's contents in the target. If that doesn't solve the problem, then here are some things you might try: What does `ls -l /etc/resolv.conf` on the host produce? Is the resolv.conf file on the host a symlink? If so, you might try running `systemctl restart resolvconf` and then rechecking the file. If the host is using systemd-resolved for address resolution, try restarting that instead.

MMGen Posted November 14 Author Posted November 14 (edited) The tutorial and automated script have been updated for images that use extlinux.conf to configure the bootloader. In addition, some logic has been added to select the correct network device name (eth0 on some systems, end0 on others). The script has been successfully tested on the Banana Pi F3 with the Ubuntu Noble legacy minimal image. Edited November 14 by MMGen 1 Quote

MMGen Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago Warning: GPT-partitioned Armbian images are appearing in the wild, and the script and tutorial do not support such images yet. To check whether your image is GPT-partitioned, run /sbin/fdisk -l on the unzipped image file. If you see 'dos' reported as the disklabel type, you're OK, while if you see 'gpt', you're out of luck for now. 0 Quote
