# We put everything on RAID1.
# Storage scheme: `partitions -> RAID -> LVM -> ext4`.
# We encrypt all hard drives and put an LVM on it the main logical volume is mirrored

# * A root user with empty password is created, so that you can just login
# as root and press enter when using the Hetzner spider KVM.
# Of course that empty-password login isn't exposed to the Internet.
# Change the password afterwards to avoid anyone with physical access
# being able to login without any authentication.
# * The script reboots at the end.
