Only very select devices are accessible from inside containers, more
specifically the ones where it is fully safe to share them between
multiple containers and the host. /dev/random and /dev/null are of
this kind, however device mapper (DM) devices are not. 

This is a limitation of the Linux kernel really, it does not support
proper device virtualization for things like this, and probably never
will.

Or in other words: LVM and DM (and thus LUKS) are something you can
use on the host only, sorry.
