How to install Ubuntu with LUKS Encryption on LVM

My work requires us to have full-disk encryption, so these are the steps I use.

The basic idea is to create a LUKS-encrypted partition which is used as an LVM Physical Volume.

The GRUB boot partition isn't encrypted, but everything else is.

These steps tested and working on 22.04 (jammy) and 20.04 (focal).

	# If you want save still image renders (F12) you must have at least one File Output node connected to image output in your compositor.
	# The node's name will be prepended to the filename as well as the timestamp.
	# The timestamp is created when the job is started and not when the frame is rendered thus for animation renders the timestamp
	# will be the same for all frames.
	# There is also an option to put entire animation renders in its own timestampted subfolder and to give animation frames a prefix.
