So I was reading this. And it seems pretty good. In my current set up if my server ever just restarts or something I just kind of don’t have it until I get home. Which is no issue because my set up is just local anyway hehe. Still I am thinking of changing my set up to be more of a real server. I don’t really need the encryption, but I have it and feel I should use it out of some principle of the matter.
So what is the workflow that people use if they need to restart or there is a power outage and want the server to turn itself back on, but no one would be around to unlock the LUKS?
I have a USB drive with the key on it. The primary purpose for LUKS for me is so that drives I replace don’t need to be wiped, so I just leave the USB drive in all the time. Makes it so it boots automatically.
If I lived in a place I owned, I’d stash a rpi somewhere deep and have it do network dropbear automatic unlock to protect the data if the server is nicked. Till then it’s yolo
The top paragraph is something I was curious about, the second reminded me that I have an RPI 3B that is not doing anything…
