Practicing encrypting my VM installation
Posted: 2015/04/14 21:24:01
Hi I'm currently using CentOS 7 on virtual machine (VirtualBox to be exact) as a way of helping me practice my skills at system administration.
My VM's CentOS installation was not encrypted during installation, but now I would like to know how to encrypt, at the very least, the /home directory.
I've checked out various texts on the Internet that talk about encrypting on CentOS/Red Hat/Linux, but the examples tend to differ a lot in the exact details with the only common element being cryptsetup.
By the way, my virtual machine only has one virtual hard disk and I chose automatic partitioning at the time of the installation.
Given this information how would you advise me in encrypting the /home directory.
