I use a headless server connected to an ethernet cable, and I’d prefer to allow the thing to boot by itself and start up without me needing to unlock the disk encryption every single time I do an update or power back on. I’m using it as a server and am wondering whether its possible to encrypt everything still.
I do generally use docker containers, so could I potentially encrypt just the containers themselves, assuming I’m worried about a smash and grab rather than someone keeping the machine powered up and reading my ram?
Most cloud providers have some kind of firewall that allows to configure a resource being accessible only from certain IP addresses. Worth it to set to your home IP address, as long as it’s static.
