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?

      Dropbear

      The drop bear is a hoax in contemporary Australian folklore featuring a predatory, carnivorous version of the koala. This imaginary animal is commonly spoken about in tall tales designed to scare tourists.

      It always fascinates me where the names for opensource software originate(?) Just the naming nomenclature itself is a glimpse into the dev’s culture, country of origin, or various odd bits of colloquialism. Very interesting to a guy who digs etymology. In this case it might be coincidental, but it’s still interesting.
