- My ~/.ssh/config has an entry for "unlock". So after I boot my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop VM (using the VirtualBox CLI), then I just type 'ssh unlock', and type 'unlock' when presented with the prompt in busybox. You will be prompted to enter a password to unlock the encrypted disk. After that, the system will boot up, then you can ssh in remotely.
