GhostBSD 18.01 Disk encryption?

I know that FreeBSD includes an option to encrypt a drive (with
GELI?). But, does GhostBSD offer the same thing? If so how do you set
it up? I'm fairly new to BSDs, so im trying to find proper
documentation as to not  mess it up. Ideally even if the root
partition isn't encrypted, my /home partition should be. I use 'encfs'
and 'ecryptfs' (Linux only, maybe) to do folder level encryption, and
that works fine, but was hoping for something at a lower level, if
possible. Thanks!

GhostBSD 18.10 does not offer disk encryption, at least not with the
ZFS option. Not by default.

GELI does exist on GhostBSD but the install does not support
encryption, it maybe possible to encrypt your home partition after
install (ufs that is I'm not sure about zfs)

IMO it's better to install FreeBSD, mate and other desktop programs
yourself
