I'm trying to build a headless server that has sensitive data on it and needs full disk encryption. I want it protected from physical theft and as far as I can brainstorm, that means at boot, the storage has to be unlocked manually. I know I can do this with remote access through remote console IPMI board but was wondering if I've just missed a way to solve this problem without using extra hardware. Have any of you homelabbers dealt with this problem set without using IPMI cards?

Hey guys/gals/bots! I'm trying to find a self hosted app that would function like a podcast client does... e.g. it has a list of channels subscribed to, sees a new release, downloads it, and prunes stuff that's beyond "X" days old.

What I'm trying to solve is using my exported YouTube subscriptions CSV to do the same. So when I get home from work, all the new videos are already downloaded and can be viewed (then pruned) without streaming.

Trying to search for something like this is bringing up a ton of stuff that is tangentially related at best.

Thanks in advance for any help!
