Not really looking to encrypt the whole file system.  As another project I want to try making the root filesystem mostly read only.

You may mount a partition encrypted using LUKS2 by providing a passphrase during initrd stage. It should be more straightforward. Fscrypt is necessary to allow different secrets to for different directories, e.g. per user ones.

If your are going to create a portable home directory for a specific user then you may face a number of issues. *Login* protector is stored in /.fscrypt, not on the mounted partition, see the fscrypt README.md file.

Not sure if that is entirely the case, as my above method seems to be working

*Login* protector used by pam_fscrypt is a different case.
