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 encrypt devices that are portable. If someone raids my house I have bigger fish to fry.

      If someone raids my house I have bigger fish to fry. Sure, but if it’s “free”, why not do it? My main worry was about performances, but since I’ve read that with AES-NI it doesn’t impact that much and since it seems not to be that complicated (let’s hope! 😁).
