How to protect the contents of a VM?

Question

linux

There is a virtual machine with Linux on board with a configured environment (Web server, database, site), you need to give it to strangers for use, but the contents of the disk must be protected from copying.
There is an option for an encrypted file container on the disk, but entering the password after each reboot is not a very bright prospect.

Answer 1

no way )

Answer 2

an encrypted container won't help either if they run on a system inside a container. Specify the task, what is the use without the right to read ??)))

Answer 3

Well, just give it over the network, and ssh is forbidden. If you give the files, then whatever one may say, you already copied them to them, it turns out. already violated the condition of the task.
