I Have rented a VPS and I want to encrypt it's data, at least on the /home directory, because I don't want the owners of the VPS to have a look at the content of my data.
But the server **already has data** on it.
my questions are:
1- /home isn't a separate partition, neither /boot .. in this case can I encrypt it?
2- How would the server boot, it's running headless, and I don't have access to it.
3- I have a trusted server on my home, can I use it somehow to hold the password so the VPS server would access it and get the password hash and boot?
Thanks a lot, have a nice day.
