Adding #Gocryptfs support to @backintime codebase is torture. 😭😭😭
🚀I decided to rewrite the whole mounting logic.
@Sigma I understand. Without any real documented alternatives and migration paths, changes like this can be expected to trip up people though 🙃
- #fscrypt only supports some filesystems, setup and migration seem very manual and tedious, no #nixos wiki page or writeups
- #gocryptfs is FUSE, but also seems tedious, nothing for nixos either
- #CryFS is totally not designed for homedir encryption (though someome tried but stopped).
🚀 gocryptfs support merged into Back In Time
Local backup profiles can now use gocryptfs for encryption instead of the deprecated EncFS.
Will be included in the upcoming 1.6.0 release within in the next weeks.

Wow. All the big packages updating on my #Gentoo #Linux box. Been about 20 hours, 165 of 201 completed.
That's what I get for not updating for about 10 days.
Oh, and encfs is depreciated and going bye-bye. Luckily I have next weekend off and will have some time to switch all my local backups to #GoCryptFS.
I need to submit my workbook to the print shop for next #AdultESOL term.
#CyberSecurity class starts tomorrow.
International dinner at school in two weeks.
I'll sleep when I'm dead.
Just published a blog post about how I use gocryptfs to encrypt some sensitive files. https://gyorban.net/blog/how-to-encrypt-your-sensitive-files-with-gocryptfs/
#linuxhint - automatic opening of kde vaults on login
first step is to make your vault with #gocryptfs for example for ~/Documents. then create an entry in #kwallet by creating a password in your "Passwords"-group (create it too if not present) named "vaultpass" and enter the password you used for ~/Documents. then create a bash script and let it autostart:
gocryptfs --extpass="kwallet-query -f Passwords -r vaultpass kdewallet" [.enc folder] ~/Documents
have fun :)
