I think this plugin is probably the best you're gonna get. It encrypts and decrypts on client side. So the data that is transmitted and stored in dokuwiki is already encrypted before it even hits the server, so data on server side at all times is encrypted. So even if an attacker gets access to the VPS, the data there is encrypted and they have no way of knowing what passphrase was used for the encryption as it not stored/configured on server side.

Just to add some clarification. Client side encryption basically means that all of the content on the server is always encrypted (or at least it is once it’s been saved on a client using client side encryption).

The whole point is that the server is entirely unable to decrypt the data - there’s no possibility of some cached credentials being used to decrypt the data when you aren’t logged in, there’s no risk of accidental decryption keys being saved in log files. All the decryption takes place on the client and any bad actors would need to compromise your local PC to get access to your data.

Done right this is the best solution for what you are looking for.

It's not exactly a Formula 1 car these days, but it IS faster than it used to be.

I am making a distinction between a rate limited login password (which would be secure with something like "Karma27!") and a password that protects encrypted disk data (which would need to be something like "Swipe Stapling Mortally Eloquence Obliged"). It sounds like you are planing to just use the login password for encrypted disk data encryption, which in general won't work as the sort of thing that people use in that case can be trivially cracked.

You can do some password stretching, but that only gets you a factor of thousands improvement.
