I don't understand why anyone would use passwordless disk encryption. It just seems inherently vulnerable, especially with the threat model of physical compromise.

Entering a password on boot isn't even that much work

It is on fedora. I wabt the latest packages and I want to install them with dnf offline upgrade but now I need to put in password twice once for the updates d again for next boot. If it is a server, I don't want to keep a monitor attached to it just to enter the password. I want the computer to just boot.

There has to be a better way.
