Here we will install

• OS
• WIFI
• Encrypted Disk with "custom" automount
• Samba service dependant from the Encrypted Disk

Installing the OS

The choosen OS is Ubuntu Server 20, with disk encrypted with luks.

Let's start installing Ubuntu Server 20 from https://ubuntu.com/download/server AND REMEMBER TO ADD THE SSH SERVICE!

Then connect with SSH on a cable connection and run the following

sudo su
apt update
apt install -y wpasupplicant  wireless-tools  net-tools  unzip vim nano cryptsetup samba cifs-utils

Setup the WIFI

Setup netplan

Edit the following adding the wlan setup. The file name will be the only one listed under ** /etc/netplan **. You should set your SSID and WIFI password

** /etc/netplan/00 **

  network:
    ethernets:
      eth0:
        dhcp4: true
+       optional: true
    version: 2
+   wifis:
+     wlan0:
+       dhcp4: true
+       optional: true
+       access-points:
+          "SSID_name":
+            password: "WiFi_password"

Then you can run (already in sudo mode)

netplan generate
netplan apply
