encfs decrypting usb folder needs root permissions #permissions #2204 #usbdrive #encfs

I've been using #cryfs encrypted bare #git repositories to keep my personal repositories synced between my computers. It looks like the number of files/directories in cryfs impacts performance with bare repositories - a. #cryptomator crashed on Linux b. switching to #cryfs works fine on a single computer, but synchronization of the changed files giving me some issues.

I'm not very excited about switching to #encfs due to security issues, but I'm going to switch my bare repositories for now.

#cryfs guis: #sirikali #cli
#encfs guis: #sirikali #gencfsm #cli

I prefer cryfs over encfs. Sirikali has the following nice features:

- kdewallet/gnome wallet integration
- automount/quick context menu mount/unmount functionality.

However, the UI is very clunky - context menu doesn't seem to scale (I'm using #kde ) and is tiny. Selecting #darkmode seems to mess up the settings popup

#gencfsm is simpler, but perfectly does the context menu part, which is really what I want.

..2/2

Speaking of #encryption/ #encrypted filesystems, I use the following: #cryfs #encfs (less secure, only when I have to) #cryptomator #veracrypt .

#cryptomator has cross-platfotm support, including #android (paid) and #windows (used at work).

However, it crashes handling bare git repositories for my #obsidian git upstream, so I can only use it for low traffic/file encryption.

I really like cryfs - great performance on #linux for my needs. No good UI though... 1/2...

🇫🇷 Je me tate à remplacer ma config "cloud" actuelle utilisant encfs+rsync. Particulièrement je voudrais remplacer #encfs par quelque chose de plus récent (sécurisé?), mais sans perdre en efficacité. J’ai entendu parlé de #cryptomator ou #cryfs… Quelqu’un aurait des conseils à me donner à ce propos ?

Je ne cherche pas de solution "complète" genre nextcloud ou d’autres outils e2e. En effet je transferts aussi ces fichiers sur des disques externes, d’où le besoin un peu agnostique de chiffrement.

🇬🇧 I’m looking to maybe replace my old cloud setup build around encfs+rsync. I’d like to replace #encfs by something more modern (secure?) without losing efficiency. I heard about #cryptomator or #cryfs Does anyone has any tip around this?

I’m not looking for the whole stack replacement (no need to speak about nextcloud or any other e2e tools), just the crypto part (those "bucket" are sync in a cloud, but also regularly on cold storage, hence the agnostic requirement.

@cybersoldier a few years ago I had a heterogeneous network with some Linux machines and one MacBook. My choice was #encfs with #fuse. Now I am Linux-only and rely completely on #LUKS.

Cryptonite seems abandonware. Is EDS Lite my only option for using #EncFS on #Android ? Are there any better options than EncFS (for usage on both #Android and #Linux)?

Thanks. Similar for me with #Cryptomator - hadn't heard of it before. They do look very similar. Cryptomator is maybe more cloud minded from the start, though.

Unfortunately, Cryptomator is not in #Gentoo repository, so I guess I'll stick with #EncFS.

Thanks.

@j34329z

second all of it, but #SyncThing especially - great software that is not as widely known as it should be.

thoughts on using #EncFS to encrypt to the cloud?

Hey fediverse, I did a thing!

Inspired by @minimaldotclick's similar efforts, I got #Zim desktop wiki set up, along with encrypted syncing (using #encfs) thru my Nextcloud, and I can now maintain synced copies of my Zim notebooks across all of my devices.

Now starting the process of centralizing all of my assorted notes and stuff into my new Zim notebooks.

Thanks, Malcolm.

#LinuxBug : #Firefox is crashing and yelling "Exiting due to channel error." if I use #fuse #encfs (note: profile is located in regular file system ~) once umounted it works back to normal, any hints ?

J'utilise #encfs[1] depuis longtemps. Et à chaque fois que je l'installe sur un ordinateur, j'ai droit au message qui me dit que plusieurs failles ont été découvertes et qu'il faut en changer.

Je vois qu'il y a #gocryptfs[2], #cryfs[3], #ecryptfs[4] et d'autres. Un conseil ?

Well...
#keybase is now aquared by #zoom and, probably, we should not use it. How ever, it is still better than #google and the others (unless you pay for #nextcloud hosted somewhere).

But...
We have lots of cryptotools like #ecryptfs and #encfs. Moreover, we have #cryfs, which hides all the metadata. Maybe it is still ok to use kbfs secured by additional cryptographic layer?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Any recommendations for an encrypted filesystem on a network mount?

- #ecryptfs is not recommended on network mounts
- #encfs has security issues
- #cryfs looks promising, but latency of the base fs gets multiplied by orders of magnitude, which makes it unusable :(

Any experience with #gocryptfs perhaps?
