dracut-sshd in fedora - ssh access to early cryptsetup/dracut shell

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

so I wrote dracut-sshd - a dracut module that adds sshd to the
initramfs such that one is able to remotely access early
userspace for e.g. unlocking an encrypted root filesystem or
dealing with the dracut emergency shell:

https://github.com/gsauthof/dracut-sshd

I would like to add it to Fedora because it adds important
functionality that is currently missing.

There are basically two routes:

1) Integrate it into upstream dracut (and package it as new
   package in Fedora)
2) Package it independently and submit a review request to the
   Fedora bugzilla (I could maintain that package)

In May, 2018 I posted to the dracut mailing list
(https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-initramfs/msg04617.html), but I
didn't receive any reply on that list.

Thus, I lean towards following route 2) now.

Any comments/suggestions?
