Mandos is a means to give LUKS keys to machines that want to boot but have an encrypted rootfs. Here's how you add a new client to our setup: 1. add a new key to the LUKS partition and prepare mandos snippet: echo 'encrypted (root/lvm/..) device (e.g. /dev/sda2 or /dev/mb/pv_nvme): ' && read DEVICE && apt install -y haveged mandos-client && (grep 116.203.128.207 /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf || echo '--options-for=mandos-client:--connect=116.203.128.207:16283' | tee -a /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf) && umask 077 && t=`tempfile` && dd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=128 of="$t" && cryptsetup luksAddKey $DEVICE "$t" && mandos-keygen --passfile "$t" If you are unsure which device is LUKS installed on, you could check it with: lsblk --fs 2. add the `roles::fde` class to new host in Puppet 3. on the mandos server, add the output of `mandos-keygen` from above to `/etc/mandos/clients.conf` and restart the service: service mandos restart 4. on the mandos server, update the firewall after you added the host to ldap: puppet agent -t 5. on the mandos server, enable the node: mandos-ctl --enable $FQDN 4. reboot the new host to test unlocking TODO: Mandos setups should be automatic, see [issue 40096](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40096).
