Unlocking local storage at boot (alien.top)

I'm trying to build a headless server that has sensitive data on it and needs full disk encryption. I want it protected from physical theft and as far as I can brainstorm, that means at boot, the storage has to be unlocked manually. I know I can do this with remote access through remote console IPMI board but was wondering if I've just missed a way to solve this problem without using extra hardware. Have any of you homelabbers dealt with this problem set without using IPMI cards?
