Question
Moving a Luks encrypted Volume to another Droplet

Asked by A C
I setup an encrypted volume on one of my droplets. When I deleted the droplet I kept the encrypted volume, expecting to use it later. I setup a new Droplet and attached the encrypted volume. When I try to open the volume i get the following error:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_volume-nyc3-01 secure-volume Enter passphrase for /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_volume-nyc3-01:
“No key available with this passphrase.”
Was there a keyfile I should have backed up before migrating the volume? I expected that I could just open the volume again by using my password.
Any help appreciated.
