Secure AlmaLinux Server setup with LUKS encryption, TPM, and mdadm RAID1 for Hetzner Dedicated Servers.
- Full nodes: contribute storage, act as lighthouses - Remote nodes: don't contribute storage, not lighthouses, but have full read/write access - Expanded README with clearer feature descriptions - Interactive node type selection during join - Remote nodes useful for edge locations or low-storage devices |

Secure AlmaLinux (RHEL) Server setup with LUKS encryption, Tang, TPM and RAID1 for Hetzner Dedicated Servers.
Features
- AlmaLinux Server base
- Full disk encryption with LUKS
- Remote unlock via Tang server
- TPM-based boot verification
- mdadm RAID1 + XFS (RHEL standard)
- SSH key-only access with early boot SSH via dropbear
- Best-in-class terminal: zsh + powerlevel10k + evil tmux
Unlock Strategy
-
Automatic unlock via Tang/TPM (default):
- Configure TPM2 and/or Tang servers in post-install.sh
- System unlocks automatically if conditions are met
- No manual intervention required
-
Manual unlock via SSH (fallback):
- SSH to server on port 22 (dropbear in early boot)
- Enter LUKS passphrase when prompted (twice, once per disk)
- Used when automatic unlock fails or is not configured
Install
Boot your Hetzner server into rescue mode and run:
wget -qO- https://git.dominik-roth.eu/dodox/nullpoint/raw/branch/master/get.sh | bash
The installer will:
- Detect your SSH key from the current session
- Ask for hostname and username
- Generate a secure LUKS passphrase (SAVE IT!)
- Download and configure everything
- Run Hetzner's installimage automatically
Encrypted network and storage pool using Nebula mesh VPN and GlusterFS distributed filesystem.
Features
- Encrypted mesh network - All traffic encrypted via Nebula overlay (192.168.100.0/24)
- Distributed storage - Data replicated across all storage nodes
- Simple joining - Single preshared secret + lighthouse endpoint
- Flexible nodes - Full nodes (replicate data) or remote nodes (no storage)
Setup
wget -qO- https://git.dominik-roth.eu/dodox/nullpoint/raw/branch/master/cluster-setup.sh | sudo bash
Choose your node type:
- Full node - Contributes storage, becomes lighthouse, read/write access
- Remote node - Full read/write access, no local storage contribution
Storage mounted at /data/storage/
on all nodes.
