Secure Boot
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since Proxmox Backup 3.1, Secure Boot is supported out of the box via signed
|
||||||
|
packages and integration in ``proxmox-boot-tool``.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following packages need to be installed for Secure Boot to be enabled:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* ``shim-signed`` (shim bootloader signed by Microsoft)
|
||||||
|
* ``shim-helpers-amd64-signed`` (fallback bootloader and MOKManager, signed by Proxmox)
|
||||||
|
* ``grub-efi-amd64-signed`` (Grub EFI bootloader, signed by Proxmox)
|
||||||
|
* ``proxmox-kernel-6.X.Y-Z-pve-signed`` (Kernel image, signed by Proxmox)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Only Grub as bootloader is supported out of the box, since there are no other
|
||||||
|
pre-signed bootloader packages available. Any new installation of Proxmox Backup
|
||||||
|
will automatically have all of the above packages included.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
More details about how Secure Boot works, and how to customize the setup, are
|
||||||
|
available in `our wiki <https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Secure_Boot_Setup>`_.

Switching an Existing Installation to Secure Boot
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. WARNING:: This can lead to an unbootable installation in some cases if not
|
||||||
|
done correctly. Reinstalling the host will setup Secure Boot automatically if
|
||||||
|
available, without any extra interactions. **Make sure you have a working and
|
||||||
|
well-tested backup of your Proxmox Backup host!**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An existing UEFI installation can be switched over to Secure Boot if desired,
|
||||||
|
without having to reinstall Proxmox Backup from scratch.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, ensure all your system is up-to-date. Next, install all the required
|
||||||
|
pre-signed packages as listed above. Grub automatically creates the needed EFI
|
||||||
|
boot entry for booting via the default shim.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. _systembooting-secure-boot-existing-systemd-boot:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**systemd-boot**
|
||||||
|
""""""""""""""""
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If ``systemd-boot`` is used as a bootloader (see
|
||||||
|
:ref:`Determine which Bootloader is used <systembooting-determine-bootloader>`),
|
||||||
|
some additional setup is needed. This is only the case if Proxmox Backup was
|
||||||
|
installed with ZFS-on-root.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To check the latter, run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# findmnt /
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the host is indeed using ZFS as root filesystem, the ``FSTYPE`` column should
|
||||||
|
contain ``zfs``:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
|
||||||
|
/ rpool/ROOT/pbs-1 zfs rw,relatime,xattr,noacl
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next, a suitable potential ESP (EFI system partition) must be found. This can be
|
||||||
|
done using the ``lsblk`` command as following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# lsblk -o +FSTYPE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The output should look something like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS FSTYPE
|
||||||
|
sda 8:0 0 32G 0 disk
|
||||||
|
├─sda1 8:1 0 1007K 0 part
|
||||||
|
├─sda2 8:2 0 512M 0 part vfat
|
||||||
|
└─sda3 8:3 0 31.5G 0 part zfs_member
|
||||||
|
sdb 8:16 0 32G 0 disk
|
||||||
|
├─sdb1 8:17 0 1007K 0 part
|
||||||
|
├─sdb2 8:18 0 512M 0 part vfat
|
||||||
|
└─sdb3 8:19 0 31.5G 0 part zfs_member
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this case, the partitions ``sda2`` and ``sdb2`` are the targets. They can be
|
||||||
|
identified by the their size of 512M and their ``FSTYPE`` being ``vfat``, in
|
||||||
|
this case on a ZFS RAID-1 installation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These partitions must be properly set up for booting through Grub using
|
||||||
|
``proxmox-boot-tool``. This command (using ``sda2`` as an example) must be run
|
||||||
|
separately for each individual ESP:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/sda2 grub
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Afterwards, you can sanity-check the setup by running the following command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# efibootmgr -v
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This list should contain an entry looking similar to this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[..]
|
||||||
|
Boot0009* proxmox HD(2,GPT,..,0x800,0x100000)/File(\EFI\proxmox\shimx64.efi)
|
||||||
|
[..]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. NOTE:: The old ``systemd-boot`` bootloader will be kept, but Grub will be
|
||||||
|
preferred. This way, if booting using Grub in Secure Boot mode does not work
|
||||||
|
for any reason, the system can still be booted using ``systemd-boot`` with
|
||||||
|
Secure Boot turned off.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now the host can be rebooted and Secure Boot enabled in the UEFI firmware setup
|
||||||
|
utility.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On reboot, a new entry named ``proxmox`` should be selectable in the UEFI
|
||||||
|
firmware boot menu, which boots using the pre-signed EFI shim.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If, for any reason, no ``proxmox`` entry can be found in the UEFI boot menu, you
|
||||||
|
can try adding it manually (if supported by the firmware), by adding the file
|
||||||
|
``\EFI\proxmox\shimx64.efi`` as a custom boot entry.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. NOTE:: Some UEFI firmwares are known to drop the ``proxmox`` boot option on
|
||||||
|
reboot. This can happen if the ``proxmox`` boot entry is pointing to a Grub
|
||||||
|
installation on a disk, where the disk itself is not a boot option. If
|
||||||
|
possible, try adding the disk as a boot option in the UEFI firmware setup
|
||||||
|
utility and run ``proxmox-boot-tool`` again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|

|
|
||||||
|
Using DKMS/Third Party Modules With Secure Boot
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On systems with Secure Boot enabled, the kernel will refuse to load modules
|
||||||
|
which are not signed by a trusted key. The default set of modules shipped with
|
||||||
|
the kernel packages is signed with an ephemeral key embedded in the kernel
|
||||||
|
image which is trusted by that specific version of the kernel image.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to load other modules, such as those built with DKMS or manually, they
|
||||||
|
need to be signed with a key trusted by the Secure Boot stack. The easiest way
|
||||||
|
to achieve this is to enroll them as Machine Owner Key (``MOK``) with
|
||||||
|
``mokutil``.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ``dkms`` tool will automatically generate a keypair and certificate in
|
||||||
|
``/var/lib/dkms/mok.key`` and ``/var/lib/dkms/mok.pub`` and use it for signing
|
||||||
|
the kernel modules it builds and installs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can view the certificate contents with
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# openssl x509 -in /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub -noout -text
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and enroll it on your system using the following command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: console
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# mokutil --import /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub
|
||||||
|
input password:
|
||||||
|
input password again:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ``mokutil`` command will ask for a (temporary) password twice, this password
|
||||||
|
needs to be entered one more time in the next step of the process! Rebooting
|
||||||
|
the system should automatically boot into the ``MOKManager`` EFI binary, which
|
||||||
|
allows you to verify the key/certificate and confirm the enrollment using the
|
||||||
|
password selected when starting the enrollment using ``mokutil``. Afterwards,
|
||||||
|
the kernel should allow loading modules built with DKMS (which are signed with
|
||||||
|
the enrolled ``MOK``). The ``MOK`` can also be used to sign custom EFI binaries
|
||||||
|
and kernel images if desired.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The same procedure can also be used for custom/third-party modules not managed
|
||||||
|
with DKMS, but the key/certificate generation and signing steps need to be done
|
||||||
|
manually in that case.
