I tried added a key file and even a password txt but both lead to it still asking for me to type in the password.

Is it because the drive is encrypted? I tried placing the files at /, /boot, /root, /etc

Edit1: I’ve tried to install dropbear and give it ssh keys. I will try to reboot in the morning and see what happens

Edit2: signing in via ssh just says port 22 rejected not working :(

    Goal is to boot when I’m away if UPS loses power. Setup is a fedora server with /dev/sda3 encrypted, the whole drive. I want it to auto unlock when I cannot type it in myself.

      /dev/sda3 would be one partition no?

      Is this a NAS by chance? What I do is I have the boot and root partitions unencrypted but all my files, media, etc are encrypted. If the power goes out I SSH in, mount it and start up file sharing services. Sure it’s a bit tedious, but at least if someone breaks into my apartment and runs off with my drives they won’t see the actual contents.
