ecryptfs: confused about ecryptfs-mount-private and automatic mounting

Hello,

i've used this tutorial (manual install and then with configuration files)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ECryptfs

Now I tried it and it worked, then I unmounted and apparently the keys in the keyring where deleted. Now I think I need to do this:

 printf "%s" "KEY" | ecryptfs-insert-wrapped-passphrase-into-keyring /home/username/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase -

again. This is kind of a hassle. Can I make this automatic without "destroying" the encryption? And if so, what's a good way?

If I shutdown, do I need to unmount or is that done automatically?

There's also an ecryptfs-mount-private. when I type it, regardless what I type, it says encrypted private directory is not setup properly. What does that mean?

From what I see the ecryptfs documentation is not accessible.
