Full Disk Encryption & Secure Boot #126

Description

@0xlua

To significantly increase security, I'd like to encrypt my disk and use Secure Boot. A lot of the required steps are not declarative and will require further documentation, once implemented (see #205).

Since this requires a reinstall I can largely follow the installation guide on the NixOS Wiki.

Full Disk Encryption

A lot of information is covered in the Wiki.

  • First download a recent ISO, create a bootable media, etc...
  • Before booting: make sure Secure Boot is disabled
  • The only really important thing during install is the disk partinioning, since this can't be changed later
  • Select the "Encrypt" Option during the installation process

Secure Boot

Once FDE is setup and the system is installed, I can deploy Secure Boot.
Again there is a lot of information on the Wiki.

Follow this guide

For Secure Boot Lanzaboote is needed: Guide
