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! 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Plex data, pi hole, and home assistant don’t contain anything meaningful. No credentials are stored in a form that can be reused.

    The most sensitive is immich, which I’m more concerned about backups than I am someone might steal my nudes. Their online anyway.

    Email is hosted off-site and I still have physical files for a lot of my documents. If someone stole hdds out of my server, they’d get a lot of Linux isos, pictures of cars, porn, tons of versioned software and games installers, etc.

    Maybe my definition of sensitive is different than yours though.
