Full disk encryption with Proxmox and remote decryption through SSH

Introduction

This article shows how to setup encrypted Proxmox hypervisor with remote decryption through SSH. It's useful if you want to protect your data and all virtual machines in case of physical theft of your homelab server. Keep in mind that in order to decrypt the system (for example after system reboot) you need to log in through SSH and enter decryption password.

Software used: Proxmox 8, KeePassXC 2.7.4
