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 did this by installing nextcloud from docker running within a proxmox container. That proxmox lxc container has the nextcloud dataset passed into it.

    That’s almost what I’m doing (I’m using a VM in Proxmox where I install all my Docker containers). Right now I’m thinking about encrypt only the data volume (a NFS share from Proxmos host) since all the sensible data will be there.
