Hi,

I would like to set up a server with an encrypted data partition. The
server is meant to be deployed remotely and therefore I would like to
mount the crypted data partition manually, some when after the boot.

How do I do that?

Setting up a crypted volume is easy. But there is no guide to be found
on how to keep the password from popping up when the system is booting.

Sadly that doesn't keep the password question from popping up.

That's bad..

Long ago I've created my own "service" that can mount luks encrypted disk
partitions (or files, via losetup), with the mounting "table" hardcoded
into the script (could create my own "tab" somewhere, someday) that toggles
the state of the mount and unmounts at shutdown, thus never had to resort
to fstab/crypttab.
