unRAID 6.4 introduces encrypted volumes and allows individual disks to be protected by encryption.
The passphrase or keyfile which is used to unlock encryption is not permanently stored on the system itself, this means that upon a system start one has to re-enter the passphrase or re-select the keyfile. Until then the array can not start and the GUI will report a "missing key".
But what if we want to auto-start the array and not keep a local copy on the system itself? It ki
THANK YOU!!!
I am adapting this to simply:
# auto unlock array
cp -f /boot/config/keyfile /root/keyfile
I copied the mounted keyfile under /root out to /boot/config/keyfile and placed this as first thing in go script.
Hope it works, rebooting now. My reasons for not having to use some other devices are simple, I still want encryption and automatic mounting without wrecking my docker containers on my encrypted and unassigned SSD and if I ever want, can just get a USB drive
