ERROR: Value for CRYPTPASSWORD is not defined about installimage HOT 12 CLOSED

I tried to install a new server, but I get this error after editing the config file. In the config file there is no comment for this setting. I tried CRYPTPASSWORD 1234 but that didn't work either. Is there a possibility to install server without cryptpassword?

Thanks.

Facing same issue :(

before I started installimage I had to set CRYPT=0 I don't know if this behave as intended.

Tried this. But still facing same issue :(

Any idea how to fix it?

I had this same issue, and I thought I was going crazy. Finally found the issue, and I just wanted to share in case someone else find themselves in the same situation.

I had this configuration:

PART    /boot     ext3    2G # Should be enough
PART    lvm       vg0     all # Rest goes to LVM

LV    vg0     root    /           ext4    100G # filesystem should have 100G
LV    vg0     rook    /mnt/rook   xfs    all # The rest is going to be used by Rook

I should have understood it earlier, but as this comment mentions. Having too many parameters will make the script think that it should use encryption.

I just removed my comments, and everything works as it should 🥳

So is it fixed? I didn't find something that mentioned this issue.

Yes, it should be. If you still have issues, please open a support request with the config you are using.

Added CRYPTPASSWORD xxxxxxxx in config (after partition portion) and It allowed me to proceed further
(xxxxxxxx was a number)
Hope no issues will arise in future 😅

I had the same symptom, and the problem was a PART line that had an extra
characters at the end (including comments!), which the
functions.sh/installimage script thinks (see below SCRIPT) is related to cryptsetup and then sets CRYPT=1:

WRONG/ERROR:

[...]
PART root / ext4 100G
[...]

...corrected:

[...]
PART / ext4 100G
[...]

SCRIPT

The code is functions.sh#772:

[...]
  i=0
  while read -r PART_LINE ; do
    i=$((i+1))
    PART_MOUNT[$i]="$(echo "$PART_LINE" | awk '{print $2}')"
    PART_FS[$i]="$(echo "$PART_LINE" | awk '{print $3}')"
    PART_SIZE[$i]="$(translate_unit "$(echo "$PART_LINE" | awk '{ print $4 }')")"
    PART_CRYPT[$i]="$(echo "$PART_LINE" | awk '{print $5}')"
[...]
    if [ -n "${PART_CRYPT[$i]}" ]; then
      export CRYPT="1"
    fi

I just removed my comments,

This indeed seems unexpected and fragile. I edited my comment in case it helps others. Once one knows, one'll never do it again, but maybe the maintainers will accept patches to make the behavior less surprising.
