Write recipe for gocryptfs

Hello @bruno.tx,

It is my understanding that you are trying to get goencryptfs working as an alternative to the encryption support we provide. Following up on your previous post.

Yes, that’s right.

Do you need a full directory to be encrypted for your purposes?
Or would individual file encryption at an application level be sufficient?
If multiple files are needed, they could be archived into a single file with tar.

You mean wrapping a directory in a tar and then encrypting it with e.g. gpg?
That would not be quite as convenient as fscrypt or gocrpytfs, but would definitely do the job.
I have now spontaneously found the following tools for encryption:

  • gpg
  • ccrypt
  • openssl

Are there any others? Which one can you recommend?

Best regards,
Markus
