Have not looked through the setup steps of that link, but using FDE with luks and remote ssh unlock for years and have not had any problems.

Also, when you update the kernel you have to rebuild the initramfs with sudo update-initramfs -k all -u, or it won’t be able to boot to the new kernel.

Shouldn’t that be automatically handled by apt? I dont remember that i have setup a manually hoom for that and i never rebuild my initramfs manually.

I was a bit surprised at it as well, but it doesn’t for me running Debian headless. If I reboot after a kernel update it’ll try to boot into the new kernel and fail waiting for the initramfs, but it’ll boot just fine into the previous kernel. Once I update the initramfs it works fine.

If you know what resources you used to set it up, I’d be curious to take a look and see if I missed something.

  Steps are basically not more then this (Can not find the original blog i followed but this is the small write up i have made years ago)
  
  install dropbear
  
  update config to your liking
  
  copy public ssh keys over
  
  run update-initramfs -u (has to be rerun on config change)
  
  done (for the server part)
  
  For some reason i install busybox too in the personal write up. But i do not think it is necessary.

    That’s basically the same as my writeup from when I did it. Except I also had a -k all on update-initramfs. Not sure about the switches, so I’ll look into them. Thanks.
