Next, follow [this gist](https://gist.github.com/yvesh/ae77a68414484c8c79da03c4a4f6fd55) to encrypt the dataset. You do not need to use any sort of live USB or rescue mode, as the initramfs has all what we need. In case it gets moved or deleted, I will copy and paste it here:

Next, we need to encrypt the `rpool/data` dataset. This is where Proxmox stores virtual machine disks.
Note that the encryption key will be stored inside of the `rpool/ROOT` dataset. Since `rpool/ROOT` is already encrypted, we can safely store it there. The key also has to be exactly 32 bytes.
```bash
# Destroy the original dataset
zfs destroy -r rpool/data
```
# Create a new encryption key
dd if=/dev/random bs=32 count=1 of=/.data.key
Create a diceware passphrase, and save it to `/.data.key`. Then, continue with:
```bash
# Remove all but ASCII characters
perl -i -pe 's/[^ -~]//g' /.data.key
# Set the approprieate permission
chmod 400 /.data.key

Next, we need to setup a systemd service for automatic unlocking. Put the following inside of `/etc/systemd/system/zfs-load-key.service`
