On headless setups, in case other methods fail, asking for a password/pin is not useful as there are no users on the terminal, and generates unwanted noise. Add a parameter to /etc/crypttab to skip it.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> is a service responsible for setting up encrypted
|
|
block devices. It is instantiated for each device that requires decryption for access.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> instances are part of the
|
|
<filename>system-systemd\x2dcryptsetup.slice</filename> slice, which is destroyed only very late in the
|
|
shutdown procedure. This allows the encrypted devices to remain up until filesystems have been unmounted.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> will ask
|
|
for hard disk passwords via the <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/PASSWORD_AGENTS/">password agent logic</ulink>, in
|
|
order to query the user for the password using the right mechanism at boot
|
|
and during runtime.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded, <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> is
|
|
translated into <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> units by

|
<para>In order to unlock a volume a password or binary key is
|
|
required. <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> tries to acquire a suitable password or binary
|
|
key via the following mechanisms, tried in order:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>If a key file is explicitly configured (via the third column in
|
|
<filename>/etc/crypttab</filename>), a key read from it is used. If a PKCS#11 token, FIDO2 token or
|
|
TPM2 device is configured (using the <varname>pkcs11-uri=</varname>, <varname>fido2-device=</varname>,
|
|
<varname>tpm2-device=</varname> options) the key is decrypted before use.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>If no key file is configured explicitly this way, a key file is automatically loaded
|
|
from <filename>/etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/<replaceable>volume</replaceable>.key</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/run/cryptsetup-keys.d/<replaceable>volume</replaceable>.key</filename>, if present. Here
|
|
too, if a PKCS#11/FIDO2/TPM2 token/device is configured, any key found this way is decrypted before
|
|
use.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>If the <varname>try-empty-password</varname> option is specified it is then attempted
|
|
to unlock the volume with an empty password.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>The kernel keyring is then checked for a suitable cached password from previous
|
|
attempts.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Finally, the user is queried for a password, possibly multiple times, unless
|
|
the <varname>headless</varname> option is set.</para></listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>If no suitable key may be acquired via any of the mechanisms describes above, volume activation fails.</para>
