Key management for encrypted devices |

Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 175.
This release adds encrypted storage support for passphrases and network keyservers.
Under the hood, LUKSv1 manages encrypted devices, allowing up to 8 different key "slots". Each slot may contain a passphrase or can provide NBDE by binding to a Tang server using Clevis.
In a future release, we're planning to add key groups and more authentication types. Key groups bypass the 8 slot limitation and provide complex authentication rules. Stay tuned!
