home server encryption
There is also dracut-sshd, which works great for distros using - surprise - dracut.

Encryption with NAS Volume
Personally, I'm running OpenSuse Tumbleweed and used the graphical installer this time out of convenience. If you want to remotely unlock it over ssh, I can recommend https://github.com/gsauthof/dracut-sshd. Works pretty well.

I switched to MicroOS GNOME and I don't think I'm returning back to regular distributions
The only thing that prevented me from going with MicroOS during my last server install was uncertainty about how well it would handle remote unlocking of luks system encryption for which I'm using dracut-sshd.

Getting WiFi to Connect Early (for dracut-sshd).
I'm trying to use the dracut-sshd package on Fedora 35. The instructions only describe how to use dracut-network and networkd to get a wired internet connection during boot (for SSH to work). I'm completely unfamiliar with these so I'm not sure what to change in order to make it work with a wireless connection instead. I tried changing their example in various ways with no luck.
