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! 🤷🏻♂️
No. I run my servers on low quality shit and I expect them to break any time. Never had to perform a data recovery but if I need, I’ll thank myself I didn’t encrypt my pics
