How to auto start encrypted array

Featured Replies

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

the usb is located at /boot

 

you can place your encrypted file in /boot/config and call it in the go file when starting the array.

 

the key file will contact teh password string to unlock the array.

 

for simplicity we will call the file keyfile...

cp /boot/config/keyfile /root/keyfile
chmod 600 /root/keyfile


since root needs the keyfile to unlaock the array.

 

so edit the go file and save it as such

 

# Copy encryption keyfile to root
cp /boot/config/keyfile /root/keyfile
chmod 600 /root/keyfile

# Start Unraid Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

as we want the flash drive file copy to happen before unriad web UI starts.
