Features

  • AlmaLinux Server base
  • Full disk encryption with LUKS
  • Remote unlock via Tang server
  • TPM-based boot verification

  • SSH key-only access with early boot SSH via dropbear
  • Best-in-class terminal: zsh + powerlevel10k + evil tmux

Unlock Strategy

  1. 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
  2. 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
