Yes, it should be. Our automatic openQA tests also show this limitation in https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/678582#step/grub_test/2 referencing a feature request "Provide kernel interface to pass LUKS password from bootloader" - but it is just this, a "feature request".
After some research I found some Arch Linux specific instruction [1]. But this uses an Arch specific initrd hook to open the encrypted fs by reading a passphrase from a file included in the initrd. I haven't found an equivalent hook in the tumbleweed dracut config. Would this setup also be a possible solution for tumbleweed? How could it be configured?
The other problem is the different keyboard layout. For this I found some older instruction [2] for grub to load a specific keyboard layout in early stage before access the disk, but it is stated that this is not possible for grub2 (links the opensuse113 docu). Also some Arch Linux instructions [3] for grub, but not explicitly for grub2. What is the "opensuse tumbleweed way" of configuring this?
