I'm trying to install Ubuntu server 22.04 with auto-install mostly following this article. I can successfully get the cloud-init and use my user-data for the installation but I can't seem to get the encryption to work. Here's my user-data config.

#cloud-config
autoinstall:
  version: 1
  packages:
    - ubuntu-desktop
  snaps:
    - name: firefox
    - name: gnome-3-38-2004
    - name: gtk-common-themes
    - name: snap-store
    - name: snapd-desktop-integration
  identity:
    hostname: hostname
    password: [SHA-512 PASSWORD]
    username: username
  storage:
    layout:
        name: lvm
        password: [SHA-512 PASSWORD]

what am i doing wrong here?

    What version of subiquity are you using? The ability to give a password to the lvm layout was added in 23.04.2. Can you try using the bare password instead of a password hash? The examples I see use a bare password https://askubuntu.com/a/1464197/376778 – Andrew Lowther Sep 19 '23 at 22:11

  1. Use a bare password, not a hash for the lvm password.
  2. You have extra spaces in your lvm layout section. Each indent should be two spaces after the previous like this:
#cloud-config
autoinstall:
  version: 1
  packages:
    - ubuntu-desktop
  snaps:
    - name: firefox
    - name: gnome-3-38-2004
    - name: gtk-common-themes
    - name: snap-store
    - name: snapd-desktop-integration
  identity:
    hostname: hostname
    password: [SHA-512 PASSWORD]
    username: username
  storage:
    layout:
      name: lvm
      password: mypassword
