Need help: USB unlock LUKS on Alpine Linux

The Hobbyist@lemmy.zip · 2 months ago

It seems you might be right. There is so little documentation for initramfs in Alpine Linux (the wiki page is very barebones), but I did manage to find this open issue:

https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/mkinitfs/-/issues/18

So I guess this confirms that it is not yet possible.

Could you expand on your suggestion with customizing the init script? Where is this file located, and would you have some pointers of how to get started to customize it for my use case?

chameleon@fedia.io · 2 months ago

You’d be looking for /usr/share/mkinitfs/initramfs-init . I’ve never customized that myself, but it looks like there’s already some support for a keyfile if you look for KOPT_cryptroot and check that block of code. That looks like it’s mostly set up for a keyfile embedded into the initramfs, but I guess it should be possible to replace that code with something that grabs the keyfile off an USB drive.

I suppose you’d make a copy of it, put it somewhere in /etc or whatever and change the mkinitfs.conf to point to it. init="/etc/whatever/myinitramfs-init" should do the trick since the config file just gets sourced in. That said you’re definitively heading into unknown territory here. It might be easier to just use Dracut or the like instead.

The Hobbyist@lemmy.zip · edit-2 2 months ago

Thank you for your help.

I decided to give dracut a shot, see how far I could get.

I created a directory /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/99usb-mount in which I created two scripts: A first module /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/99usb-mount/module-setup.sh, executable:

#!/bin/bash

check() {
    return 0
}

depends() {
    echo "crypt"
    return 0
}

install() {
    inst_hook pre-mount 90 "$moddir/usb-mount.sh"
}

And a second script /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/99usb-mount/usb-mount.sh, also executable:

#!/bin/bash

LUKS_PARTITION=/dev/sda3
USB_NKL=/dev/disk/by-uuid/<MY-UUID>
USB_MOUNT_DIR=/mnt/my-usb/
KEY_FILENAME=mykey.key

# Wait for the USB to be detected and available
for i in {1..10}; do
    if [ -b ${USB_NKL} ]; then
        break
    fi
    sleep 1
done

# Mount the USB stick
mount ${USB_NKL} ${USB_MOUNT_DIR}

# Check if the mount was successful
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Failed to mount USB stick"
    exit 1
fi

# Unlock the LUKS partition using the keyfile
if [ -e "${USB_MOUNT_DIR}/${KEY_FILENAME}" ]; then
    cryptsetup luksOpen "${LUKS_PARTITION}" cryptroot --key-file "${USB_MOUNT_DIR}/${KEY_FILENAME}"
else
    echo "Keyfile not found!"
    echo "Failed to unlock LUKS partition"
    exit 1
fi

I then fixed some dependencies and got around installing device-mapper, providing dmsetup, required by dm, required by crypt, required by my scripts.

Then I ran: dracut -f, which didn’t seem to have any issue and includes my module:

[...]
dracut[I]: *** Including module: usb-mount ***
[...]
dracut[E]: ldconfig exited ungracefully
[...]
dracut[I]: *** Creating initramfs image file '/boot/initramfs-6.6.54-0-lts.img' done ***

Not sure if this ldconfig error should be of any concern? The end image seems to have been created successfully.

When I check the verbose output, I see my module being included:

dracut[D]: -rwxr-xr-x 0/0       747 2024-10-07 22:30:00 lib/dracut/hooks/pre-mount/90-usb-mount.sh

However, it is here numbered 90 when above I had placed it in 99, no idea what that’s about? (edit: actually I wrote 90 in the module-setup.sh, so this is normal I guess).

Then I rebooted with my key and the prompt for my password to unlock my LUKS partition still appeared.

In the kernel messages I see my usb stick being detected (perhaps not mounted?) prior to the password prompt, so not sure what’s going on. Do you see any issue with my attempt? Or would you happen to have any propositions for debugging this further? I’m a bit lost as to how I can diagnose the issue.

Here are the kernel messages regarding the usb detection and a few seconds later, me unlocking the LUKS partition:

Dracut may have this functionality already built in via rd.luks.key, so a custom module would really only make sense if you’re trying to do more than that. You can probably get away with just using that if you just want it to work, but if you want to customize stuff:

I suspect your module is running well after the device is already supposed to be cryptsetup opened. The way the default crypt module handles it is by setting up udev configuration in a very early phase, and then having udev request the password a little bit later when it finds the device it’s trying to open, until all devices are ready. It’s a complex mechanism compared to Alpine’s straightforward script, but it’s much more flexible when it comes to ordering of things like RAID/network devices/LUKS/etc.

The result of that is that your code would have to run much earlier. There’s some documentation on how hooks work, and the builtin rd.luks.key / keydev handler runs at cmdline 10. That’s well before your pre-mount, and probably where you’d want to run your code. Based on a cursory inspection of the other code, you could either cryptsetup open it yourself if you use the name it expects (rd.luks.name= cmdline parameter or luks-$luks_container_uuid), or you could use that /tmp/luks.keys mechanism (it’s a dracut-internal thing so you won’t find much documentation, but it lives in crypt-lib.sh, cryptroot-ask.sh and probe-keydev.sh).

As for debugging, the cmdline manpage has a few decent enough options. rd.break=cmdline or similar can force a shell before Dracut goes through a specific phase of hooks. You should be able to manually test doing things similar to your script at that point.

Thank you for your help. I spent time digging into this rabbit hole, and while I’ve learned a lot, I am struggling to get the basics to work. Right now, I’m focusing on being able to just boot an image I created using dracut, excluding all the initial stuff I wanted, just be able to reproduce the original functionality of being able to unlock my luks partition using my keyboard.

Where I’m at: I am building my initramfs using the following command: dracut -f -v --add crypt --add lvm --add dm. I get the following output log:

Then I updated the /boot/extlinux.conf file, adding the following second entry (displaying the first one just for comparison):

LABEL lts
  MENU DEFAULT
  MENU LABEL Linux lts
  LINUX vmlinuz-lts
  INITRD initramfs-lts
  APPEND root=/dev/mapper/root modules=sd-mod,usb-storage,ext4 cryptroot=<my-uuid> cryptdm=root quiet rootfstype=ext4

LABEL lts
  MENU LABEL dracut-img
  LINUX vmlinuz-lts
  INITRD /boot/initramfs-6.6.56-0-lts.img
  APPEND root=/dev/mapper/root modules=sd-mod,usb-storage,ext4 cryptroot=UUID=<my-uuid> cryptdm=root quiet rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=rw,relatime

I added the rootflags=rw,relatime because this was shown in the dracut log, so I thought perhaps that mattered. But for the most part I left it the same as the previous entry, because I’m trying to do the same thing I suppose. Perhaps I’m mistaken?

The current result of booting that image leads to a long loading (not asking for the passphrase to unlock the partition) then displaying the following error:

dracut Warning: Could not boot.

dracut Warning: "/dev/mapper/root" does not exist

Generating "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt"
You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot after mounting them and attach it to a bug report.

To get more debug information in the report, reboot with "rd.debug" added to the kernel command line.

Dropping to debug shell.

Before dropping me in a shell, in which I have not found anything useful to do. I am surely missing something basic as my understanding of what’s happening is pretty superfluous.

What I’m noticing which may be of importance:

dracut[E]: ldconfig exited ungracefully, in the dracut output log. Perhaps this matters and should be fixed? An image is nonetheless generated.
there are many missing modules when creating an image, but I don’t know if any of them matter, at least for my purpose.
One thing I can’t wrap my head around is, how come the original kernal image work, when I had packages such as device-mapper and lvm missing, why did dracut complain about them missing for me to compile my own image? and would I need to add options in the /boot/extlinux.conf file, when they are not required for the original boot entry, when all I’m trying to do (as a start) is just make sure I can reproduce a bootable kernel image?

chameleon@fedia.io · 1 month ago

I think you should check your root= line and add a rd.luks.uuid= to make it open it. Dracut will by default open the root FS as /dev/mapper/luks-abcdef... based on the LUKS container UUID. You can get that with cryptsetup luksUUID. /dev/mapper/root is just never going to show up unless you’ve assigned a custom name to that with the barely documented rd.luks.name, and I don’t see that in your setup. The cryptroot and cryptdm parameters aren’t used by Dracut either.

With all of that missing it’s just gonna wait for that /dev/mapper/root to magically show up out of nowhere, without ever trying to open it.

A correct cmdline will probably look something along the lines of root=/dev/mapper/luks-<uuid> modules=sd-mod,usb-storage,ext4 rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=rw,relatime rd.luks.uuid=<uuid> and once opening with passphrase works, you can start to mess with rd.luks.key=/awesome.key (and readd quiet when done debugging, if you want it that way).

ldconfig errors and the missing modules should be fine. musl’s ldconfig is just a bit different but also isn’t required in quite the same way. I don’t think you should need to mess with modules manually. I don’t think you’re using LVM’s userland for your setup, just all the device-mapper kernel modules. Dracut will pull all the necessary bits in for you if you’re setting it up for LUKS.

I’m very grateful for your extended help. I’ve made some progress. I’m able to get the prompt to appear asking me for my passphrase to unlock the right partition (sda3 in my case). Entering the passphrase, however, drops me in the Dracut emergency shell after ~3min of dracut logs, seemingly looping. (Edit: the reason for why it drops me in the shell is very unclear. It says Dropping to debug shell. /bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off. And if I try to exit the dracut shell, it says dracut Warning: could not boot.).

In the Dracut emergency shell, checking /dev/mapper/ I see a luks-<sda3-uuid> listed. Running blkid I see it listed too with TYPE=crypto_LUKS. I also see a dev/dm-0 with a dedicated UUID, in ext4. I ran blkid which shows:

/dev/mapper/luks-705fc477-573a-4ef6-81b6-a14c43cda1f5: UUID="57955343-922a-4918-9bc1-797ca8d13a9c" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda1: UUID="cc5e0b03-3544-4bef-ab8b-8b72dd236926" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda2: UUID="4df1af6c-3199-4bb2-bb12-bcf897cfc6fc" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda3: UUID="705fc477-573a-4ef6-81b6-a14c43cda1f5" TYPE="crypto_LUKS"
/dev/dm-0: UUID="57955343-922a-4918-9bc1-797ca8d13a9c" TYPE="ext4"

I checked the status of the filesystem running cryptsetup status /dev/mapper/luks-<sda3-uuid> and it says it is active, which I guess means it is unlocked?

I checked the /root directory, and it is empty. So I tried to mount the partition myself: mount /dev/mapper/luks-<sda3-uuid> /root but it fails saying mount: mounting /dev/mapper/luks-<sda3-uuid> on /root failed: No such file or directory and that got me really puzzled? I’ve been searching far and wide but I can’t seem to find anyone with a similar situation. I feel like I’m close to getting this working.

Below is my syslinux kernel config, and the 2nd and 3rd items are what I booted into (/boot/extlinux.conf)

Sorry, I’ve had a (self-imposed) busy week, but I have to admit, that also has me rather stumped. As far as I can tell, your second entry should work. If the device is visible in /dev/mapper under a name, it should be able to mount under that name.

The only thing I can think of is that some important module like the ext4 module might be missing somehow? You can get pretty confusing errors when that happens. Dracut is supposed to parse /etc/fstab for everything needed to boot, and maybe that’s not recognizing your root for some reason. dmesg might have some useful info at the end after you try to mount it. If that’s what’s happening, you could try to add add_drivers+=" ext4 " in your dracut.conf and regenerate it (the spaces are important!). But if that’s not it, then I’m probably out of ideas now.
