Encrypting Drive with LUKS during installation?

Question

linux

During installation of the system (centos), is it recommended to enable encryption for the swap partition as well? I don't turn it on is it safe?

Answer 1

Okay, you've installed all of yourselves on an encrypted server. the server went to the site to hell in the middle of nowhere, where living people are .. for example, once every half a year. at some point, food flashed there (Guess at whose expense and where the company will send you to ask you to pay for tickets) you will go there, turn it on, enter the password when it is conditional -30 outside.
You need to encrypt only what needs to be encrypted - mail, databases. passwords in the database...

Answer 2

If there is paranoia, and it seems to you that you are being followed (and most likely it is), then you should definitely turn it on!
Oh, how many wonderful discoveries a swap scan is preparing for us!
On good, if there is enough memory, then nothing can fly there. But if you have already flown, then there is something to dig into.

Answer 3

First, as always, we clarify the model of the intruder ... Well, that is, from whom (what) are we supposed to defend ourselves? In some cases it will be safe, in others it will not, in others it will be useless, etc.
