Fellow selfhoster, do you encrypt your drives where you put data to avoid privacy problems in case of theft? If yes, how? How much does that impact performances? I selfhost (amongst other services) NextCloud where I keep my pictures, medical staff, …in short, private stuff and I know that it’s pretty difficult that a thief would steal my server, buuut, you never know! 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I was actually using my own user account instead of root, but now that you mention it… I’m not sure how that would even work so yeah that makes sense.

    I did rebuild the initramfs after every change but did not manually copy the key file anywhere other than etc.

    Will check out the link tomorrow. Thanks a lot for sharing!

    Edit: tried again with root and it worked flawlessly :D
