CLEVIS-LUKS-UNLOCKERS(7) ======================== :doctype: manpage == NAME clevis-luks-unlockers - Overview of clevis luks unlockers == OVERVIEW Clevis provides unlockers for LUKS volumes which can use LUKS policy: * clevis-luks-unlock - Unlocks manually using the command line. * dracut - Unlocks automatically during early boot. * systemd - Unlocks automatically during late boot. * udisks2 - Unlocks automatically in a GNOME desktop session. Once a LUKS volume is bound using *clevis luks bind*, it can be unlocked using any of the above unlockers without using a password. == MANUAL UNLOCKING You can unlock a LUKS volume manually using the following command: $ sudo clevis luks unlock -d /dev/sda For more information, see link:clevis-luks-unlock.1.adoc[*clevis-luks-unlock*(1)]. == EARLY BOOT UNLOCKING If Clevis integration does not already ship in your initramfs, you may need to rebuild your initramfs with this command: $ sudo dracut -f Once Clevis is integrated into your initramfs, a simple reboot should unlock your root volume. Note, however, that early boot integration only works for the root volume. Non-root volumes should use the late boot unlocker. Dracut will bring up your network using DHCP by default. If you need to specify additional network parameters, such as static IP configuration, please consult the dracut documentation. == LATE BOOT UNLOCKING You can enable late boot unlocking by executing the following command: $ sudo systemctl enable clevis-luks-askpass.path After a reboot, Clevis will attempt to unlock all *_netdev* devices listed in */etc/crypttab* when systemd prompts for their passwords. This implies that systemd support for *_netdev* is required. == DESKTOP UNLOCKING When the udisks2 unlocker is installed, your GNOME desktop session should unlock LUKS removable devices configured with Clevis automatically. You may need to restart your desktop session after installation for the unlocker to be loaded. == SEE ALSO link:clevis-luks-unlock.1.adoc[*clevis-luks-unlock*(1)] link:clevis-luks-bind.1.adoc[*clevis-luks-bind*(1)]
