Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Use cryptsetup and it should handle key creation for you. I've never heard this but about key revision. How are you supposed to use the disk if the key is revoked?
Hdd's have bad block remapping sort of like ssd's, so the same issues apply to both types of media.
The op probably meant removing one key and adding another
Yes. Some guides suggest, say, "just use 'key' for now, we'll replace it later." I didn't mention their step adding a stronger key, I guess I didn't see that as an important part of the question.
I've never done it that way and don't see the benefit. Am I missing something? Of course for a testing setup just do something easy. But don't store any sensitive data under a weak key, ever.
