Glitch Installer v2.0

Added (LUKS/Encryption Support)

• ✅ cryptsetup - Core LUKS encryption tool
• ✅ cryptsetup-initramfs - Cryptsetup hooks for initramfs
• ✅ lvm2 - LVM support (for encrypted volume management)
• ✅ dmsetup - Device mapper tools

Why These Are Required

The Glitch Installer script has extensive LUKS encryption support:

LUKS Encryption (lines 866-901)

def _setup_luks(self, cfg):
    # Formats partition with LUKS1 encryption
    cryptsetup luksFormat --type luks1 --batch-mode {data_part}
    # Opens encrypted partition
    cryptsetup luksOpen {data_part} {self.luks_mapper}
    # Formats as ext4 on encrypted volume
    mkfs.ext4 -F -L ROOT {self.luks_device}

Crypttab Configuration (lines 1136-1162)

# Writes to /etc/crypttab for automatic unlock
crypttab_entry = f"{self.luks_mapper} UUID={luks_uuid} none luks,discard,initramfs"

Initramfs Integration (lines 1157-1170)

# Installs LUKS support into initramfs
apt-get install -y cryptsetup cryptsetup-initramfs

# Ensures cryptsetup is included in initramfs build
echo "CRYPTSETUP=y" >> /etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook

# Adds kernel modules needed for decryption
echo "dm-crypt" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo "dm-mod" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
