Normally I either encrypt a non-boot drive (if the VPS provider offers such a thing) or use gocryptfs. It’s still a pain though when reboots happen, unless you also put your key there. Application layer encryption makes it easier.

gocryptfs is great, I use it to encrypt storage in embedded scenarios where the OS doesn't have the userspace tools or kernel modules to manage encrypted block devices.
