I have luks set up on my server and it is kind of annoying to type the password at reboots (mostly power outages). Strictly speaking I do not need the luks, but I feel its good to have anyway. I was thinking of getting a yubikey and just leaving it on or at least telling a trusted family member where to get it and to plug it in when turning it on.

Has anyone over come a similar set up or issue?

For some clarity I am not a pro and the homelabing is mostly just a learning experience for me.

    I use a yubikey on my laptop, but I use it to make it even harder to log in. It’s set to challenge-response so you have to have the key in and enter a password to unlock LUKS. Bit overkill but it was more just to see if I could do it lol
