Hello,
Has anyone been able to get an ssh server running under initramfs? I
have an encrypted system which I would like to be able to unlock
remotely without the need of a KVM.
If this is not possible, are there any other solutions which would allow
me to achieve my desired outcome?
Thanks all,

iLO or iDRAC interfaces for HP / Dell servers i believe

Thanks for replying,
Just clarifying that I don't have a KVM. In fact, I'm not even running Alpine on server hardware, rather on consumer hardware hence my pursuit of a simpler method of decryption at distance.
I could eventually resort to a PiKVM, but I'd prefer to keep it simple.
Thanks

I used Mandos years ago before systemd arrived. It worked well but I
think the current code base is more systemd focused. It is not in the
Alpine package repo and I have no idea what would need to be done to
make it work on Alpine but it is worth a look.

A quick search turned up this open merge request:
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/mkinitfs/-/merge_requests/86
So there are ways to do it currently (namely by using dracut, which is
only available in the testing repository), but no simple way to acheive
it with the existing alpine mkinitfs because this merge request is
blocked due to lack of a testsuite.
