Full disk encryption automation via SSH (LUKS/LVM)

2020-07-03MODULE: os_infrastructure

Automated deployment protocol for secure, encrypted OS environments. Executes Arch Linux installation over SSH to a fully encrypted disk mapped via LVM on LUKS.

Architecture

Source repository: encrypted-arch.

System Specifications

  • Architecture: Full Disk Encryption (FDE)
  • Deployment Vector: Remote installation via SSH protocol
  • Storage Provisioning: Automated disk/partition formatting with pre-generated layout configurations
  • Bootloader & Kernel Configuration:
    • Dynamic injection of GRUB hooks and modules
    • Automated GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter definition
  • Cryptography: SSH key pair generation and localized keystore isolation
  • User Interface: KDE Plasma Desktop Environment
  • Display Manager: SDDM
  • Network Security: Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) baseline ruleset
  • Operation Mode: Fully Automatic Installation (FAI), requiring zero interaction post-credential injection

Execution Protocol

  1. Clone repository to the initiating host machine.
  2. Grant executable permissions to deployment scripts: chmod +x run.sh ./installer/install.sh ./installer/chroot.sh.
  3. Execute ./run.sh. The system will establish an SSH connection to the target node and execute the internal deployment sequence (./installer/install.sh -> ./installer/chroot.sh).
