What is Booster (initramfs)?

Booster is made with speed and full disk encryption use-case in mind.

Booster advantages:

  • Fast image build time and fast boot time.
  • Out-of-box support for full disk encryption setup.
  • Clevis style data binding. The encrypted filesystem can be bound to TPM2 chip or to a network service. This helps to unlock the drive automatically but only if the TPM2/network service presents.
  • Systemd-cryptenroll type of binding. Booster is able to detect and unlock systemd-fido2 and systemd-tpm2 style partitions.
  • Supports autodiscoverable root partition
  • Easy to configure.
  • Automatic host configuration discovery. This helps to create minimalistic images specific for the current host.
