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! 🤷🏻♂️
Yup and negligible. If I’m forced to contend with a windows environment bitlocker is utilized.
I also utilize a ram disk in a windows os. Imdisk in windows. I migrate temp files and logs into the ram disk. It saves on disk writes and increases privacy.
If pretty straightforward to encrypt if utilizing Linux right from install time.
As for my server I too utilize nextcloud. However, the nextcloud data is on a zfs dataset. This dataset is encrypted.
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.
