How to let Chrome Remote Desktop run with encrypted /home before login

Solution 1:

No, this isn't possible if you have an encrypted home directory.

You don't have the luxury of 'running things as the user' if the user's information and data are encrypted and need accessed.

If your /home directory is encrypted, you can't access it until you decrypt it - which you have to do manually from the system with logon. That's kind of the point of encrypted home - your data is encrypted and you have to manually login to unlock it.

Encrypted home will break services such as these that run in 'userspace'.
