Encryption at Rest
On this page
SingleStoreDB is compatible with at-rest disk-based encryption via LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup).
To use SingleStoreDB with LUKS, configure your block device to be encrypted with LUKS, and then simply install SingleStoreDB on the encrypted volume.
For more information about how to implement LUKS with different versions of Linux, see the links in the section below.ecryptfs
should never be used - only volume or block level encryption.
Example Setup Process
-
Prepare block device
-
Encrypt block device with LUKS
-
Create filesystem (i.
e. , mkfs.)ext4 /dev/mapper/myencryptedvolume -
Mount filesystem (i.
e. , mount /dev/mapper/myencryptedvolume /data) -
Install SingleStoreDB normally to encrypted location using the SingleStoreDB management tools or MemSQL Ops
