How to get `keyfile` in 6.8.0?

[7hr08ik 2]

Hey guys,

 

So, im a slight id10t

 

Updated to 6.8.0-rc3, and then to 6.8.0-rc4 2 days ago. Yesterday I finally got bored with having to go through the rigmarole of unlocking the server every time she boots up. (My system shuts down every night, thats just how i have it) Also, im using KeepassXC with stupid long crazy passwords.

 

Found SpaceInvaderOne`s Video Guide on unlocking the server using FTP from my phone.

BUT...

As of rc1 "emhttpd: do not write /root/keyfile if encryption passphrase provided via webGUI"

 

This means,

Linux 5.3.7-Unraid.
Last login: Sat Oct 26 13:14:30 +0100 2019 on /dev/pts/0.
root@Hal-9000:~# cp /root/keyfile /boot/keyfile
cp: cannot stat '/root/keyfile': No such file or directory
root@Hal-9000:~#

 

So how do i get the keyfile without rolling back to an old USB backup?

I know theres gonna be a command somewhere but my googlefu is broken.

I have exactly the same problem.  The old server running 6.7.2 follows SpaceInvader's video exactly.  When I've tried this on a test machine I have running 6.8.0-rc3 I get the same error.

What this mean. How do I find the keyfile and copy it to my flash drive?

Open a console window and type that command to create the keyfile.
