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 use full disk encryption for every server (and other computers).

    Encrypting your data drives is a must for everyone imho. Encrypting the OS is a must for me🤷‍♂️
