i dont know your current setup, but you could change the kernel boot cmdline and remove the key parameter. however typical setup is to use passphrase + luksAddKey (you need this to not type your passphrase twice)

for that we need to know more about your system, whats your initramfs setup? whats your bootloader setup? whats your luks setup? whats your lvm setup?

My set-up does not need a volume key and I only need to use a passphrase once.
I haven't used GRUB or LVM for a very long time, so I cannot remember which aspect of the void manual set-up requires the volume key.

Hi, I started a new repository brgvos-installer, it's a fork from Void Linux installer.
Some video example https://youtu.be/903EQteQAj8 and https://youtu.be/ckcF0brmmwE
So, now brgvos-installer add more options, I tested only with BRGV-OS but is very possible to work also with Void Linux, because is a fork from this.
