If you self-host in the cloud, you can use an encrypted volume if you
like, but given that volume can boot without a passphrase, it doesn't
provide *that* much security. A few people will use FUSE mounts for the
likes of S3 or similar, then encrypt that data... it'd be at rest across
a different system than the server itself, which is slightly better.
Getting my pihole and wireguard setup this weekend, at least that's the
plan.
