April 19, 20251 yr Hey guys! I'm trying to follow the guide from Ben Rhine (https://benrhine.com/blog/howto-autostart-encrypted-unraid-array/) on how to auto start an encrypted array by having the keyfile on a google drive. I've gotten as far as the terminal and I'm kind of confused by his directions. Can someone tell me step by step how to enter the commands? I keep getting this in the pictures. How do I actually enter in the commands? It just starts writing into the existing commands. Thanks
