dracut-sshd VS ubuntu-server-zfsbootmenu

There is also dracut-sshd, which works great for distros using - surprise - dracut.

Personally, I'm running OpenSuse Tumbleweed and used the graphical installer this time out of convenience. If you want to remotely unlock it over ssh, I can recommend https://github.com/gsauthof/dracut-sshd. Works pretty well.

The only thing that prevented me from going with MicroOS during my last server install was uncertainty about how well it would handle remote unlocking of luks system encryption for which I'm using dracut-sshd.

I'm trying to use the dracut-sshd package on Fedora 35. The instructions only describe how to use dracut-network and networkd to get a wired internet connection during boot (for SSH to work). I'm completely unfamiliar with these so I'm not sure what to change in order to make it work with a wireless connection instead. I tried changing their example in various ways with no luck.

I prefer this https://github.com/gsauthof/dracut-sshd

https://github.com/Sithuk/ubuntu-server-zfsbootmenu I've been using this with success in my last few installs

Several of us on this sub have been using this script to install ZFS on ubuntu with zfsbootmenu: https://github.com/Sithuk/ubuntu-server-zfsbootmenu

If you want a ZFS root, look at https://zfsbootmenu.org/. If you want it for Ubuntu specifically, consider Sithuk's script which automates it at https://github.com/Sithuk/ubuntu-server-zfsbootmenu .

If you're going Ubuntu, you might want to consider Sithuk's automated script, which makes the process considerably easier. https://github.com/Sithuk/ubuntu-server-zfsbootmenu

Looks like someone (u/Sithuk) already has messed around with setting that up with a script. No idea how well it works, but I'd definitely use it as a reference: https://github.com/Sithuk/ubuntu-server-zfsbootmenu

I ended up trying this and it worked almost flawlessly (issue with auto-selecting apt mirrors, but easily fixed).

https://github.com/Sithuk/ubuntu-server-zfsbootmenu this project is probably the closest I have seen to the idea install.
