Implementing LUKS Disk Encryption with CouchDB

Technical Support Development
1

I’m currently exploring ways to enhance data security for our CouchDB implementation by using LUKS Disk Encryption on our servers. Given that CouchDB doesn’t natively support encryption at rest, LUKS seems like a good option for encrypting the underlying storage where CouchDB data resides.

Before proceeding, I wanted to check if anyone in the community has experience implementing LUKS Disk Encryption with CouchDB. I’d greatly appreciate any insights, lessons learned, or resources you can share.

I do not have any experience here, but @hareet might have some specific thoughts/considerations.

Also, this would probably be a good topic to raise out on the CouchDB Slack channel too!
