UserVolumeConfig

UserVolumeConfig is a user volume configuration document. User volume is automatically allocated as a partition on the specified disk and mounted under /var/mnt/<name>. The partition label is automatically generated as u-<name>.

Name of the volume.
Name might be between 1 and 34 characters long and can only contain:
lowercase and uppercase ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens.
provisioningProvisioningSpecThe provisioning describes how the volume is provisioned.
filesystemFilesystemSpecThe filesystem describes how the volume is formatted.
encryptionEncryptionSpecThe encryption describes how the volume is encrypted.

provisioning

ProvisioningSpec describes how the volume is provisioned.

FieldTypeDescriptionValue(s)
diskSelectorDiskSelectorThe disk selector expression.
growboolShould the volume grow to the size of the disk (if possible).
minSizeByteSize
The minimum size of the volume.
Size is specified in bytes, but can be expressed in human readable format, e.g. 100MB.
Show example(s)
minSize: 2.5GiB
maxSizeByteSize
The maximum size of the volume, if not specified the volume can grow to the size of thedisk.

Size is specified in bytes, but can be expressed in human readable format, e.g. 100MB.
Show example(s)
maxSize: 50GiB

diskSelector

DiskSelector selects a disk for the volume.

FieldTypeDescriptionValue(s)
matchExpressionThe Common Expression Language (CEL) expression to match the disk.
Show example(s)
match: disk.size > 120u * GB && disk.size < 1u * TB
match: disk.transport == "sata" && !disk.rotational && !system_disk

filesystem

FilesystemSpec configures the filesystem for the volume.

keys[]

EncryptionKey represents configuration for disk encryption key.

FieldTypeDescriptionValue(s)
slotintKey slot number for LUKS2 encryption.
staticEncryptionKeyStaticKey which value is stored in the configuration file.
nodeIDEncryptionKeyNodeIDDeterministically generated key from the node UUID and PartitionLabel.
kmsEncryptionKeyKMSKMS managed encryption key.
tpmEncryptionKeyTPMEnable TPM based disk encryption.

static

EncryptionKeyStatic represents throw away key type.

FieldTypeDescriptionValue(s)
passphrasestringDefines the static passphrase value.

nodeID

EncryptionKeyNodeID represents deterministically generated key from the node UUID and PartitionLabel.

kms

EncryptionKeyKMS represents a key that is generated and then sealed/unsealed by the KMS server.

encryption:
    keys:
        - kms:
            endpoint: https://192.168.88.21:4443 # KMS endpoint to Seal/Unseal the key.
FieldTypeDescriptionValue(s)
endpointstringKMS endpoint to Seal/Unseal the key.

tpm

EncryptionKeyTPM represents a key that is generated and then sealed/unsealed by the TPM.

FieldTypeDescriptionValue(s)
checkSecurebootStatusOnEnrollbool
Check that Secureboot is enabled in the EFI firmware.If Secureboot is not enabled, the enrollment of the key will fail. As the TPM key is anyways bound to the value of PCR 7, changing Secureboot status or configuration after the initial enrollment will make the key unusable.
