Starting with udisks version 2.6.4, it is possible to automatically unlock LUKS devices using configured keyfiles.

The keyfile can be configured in the config file, which is usually located in ~/.config/udiskie/config.yml:

device_config:
- id_uuid: ...
  keyfile: /path/to/your/keyfile

You can get the UUID of your device from e.g.:

udiskie-info -o '{id_uuid}' /dev/sda1
ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/,
sudo lsblk -f
