Encryption at rest is not supported in the community/free version of MongoDB.

We built an email service (IMAP support added a month ago) and wrote a WebSocket to SQLite layer to solve our encryption at rest needs for storage.

See our deep dive at https://forwardemail.net/blog/docs/best-quantum-safe-encrypt... for insight.

I wonder, why would you want DB-managed encryption instead of just putting its storage directory in a LUKS-encrypted volume?

Note Percona Server for MongoDB is drop-in replacement for MongoDB and supports Data at Rest Encryption, on SSPL version

Really? How many open source databases do you offer? Some may say it’s not right for randos to complain when you give something away and they complain that it’s missing basics. I just happy someone else wrote most of what I need and I can extend it if needed.
