I was looking at encrypting my data on a headless server I have, and found a good tutorial using ZFS+geli. Easy enough to setup, but one thing I just realized is that I wouldn't be able to enter the passphrase on the server since I keep it headless. I wonder if there is some type of encryption I can use that does not require entering a passphrase. For example, perhaps I can set it up in a way that it'll automatically read from certain files on a thumb drive?
