Just out of curiosity: Is remote unlocking of an encrypted (dm-crypt)
disk via ssh possible out of the box with dracut?
At the moment I use tinyssh with the mkinitcpio-netconf /
mkinitcpio-tinyssh packages, as explained in
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Specialties#Remote_unlocking_(hooks:_netconf,_dropbear,_tinyssh,_ppp)
but didn't find something similar in the wiki.

Furthermore neither the wiki [1] not the man page [2] is a mention on
the HOOKS [3] that mkinitcpio uses. Is there something similar for
dracut or it's not required For example: will it automatically execute
`btrfs device scan` as the `btrfs` HOOK would do in mkinitcpio?
I dunno, try it and see? Though my understanding is, dracut is less
configurable and far more automatic probe-y. Chances are if it detects
a btrfs filesystem of any sort, it will assume you need to probe for
multi-device btrfs volumes at boot, and do so without asking or being
configured.
I have never used dracut, but it has modules similar to mkinitcpio
hooks. I guess the modules contain more automagic so you don't have to
manually enable/disable them. If you want, you can limit the modules to
include, though. If functionality is missing you will need to write a
dracut module instead of a mkinitcpio hook.
