I will have to rebuild my Raspberry Pi 4B setup for PiHole, PiVPN and data backup and I am thinking this may be an opportunity to encrypt my personal data as a matter of principle, say, to prevent a burglar stealing the device and accessing the files.
The setup will only have an SSD, no SD card. It will have to boot unattended, so the system can't be fully encrypted. How do you do that? And what is the performance hit like? Generally, before I waste hours and days trying to make it work only to regret it, why wouldn't it be a good idea to encrypt? From what I have read so far, it may not be worth the trouble, complexity and impact on reliability and performance, particularly when the device getting stolen is unlikely.
