So how do you encrypt a home server? Any device that has to be bootable without human intervention will have to store the encryption keys on the device somewhere making the encryption merely obfuscation.

It is possible for "swap" RAM to be encrypted on Linux and it could generate a random per boot key, also being a form of obfuscation. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/28/69
