Overview

A pass extension for mounting encrypted filesystems.

Usage

Usage:

    pass mount pass-name
    pass mount target pass-name
        Mount encrypted filesystem using the configuration stored in pass-name.

    pass mount status pass-name
        Display status information about encrypted filesystem.

    pass mount init pass-name
        Initialize encrypted filesystem.

    pass umount pass-name
        Unmount encrypted filesystem

More information may be found in the pass-mount(1) man page.

NEWS

0.2.2 Initial packaging Deprecated cryfs 0.2.1 Initial loopback support
Initial test infrastrusture
0.2.0 Initial support for initializing cryptsetup based LUKS volumes

KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES

🚨 WARNING 🚨

Under "active" development
Configuration format unstable and upgrade may require manual edits
Cryfs is unstable - backup your data
DEPRECATED: Cryfs support is deprecated

Cryfs

• Some versions of cryfs block if /dev/random runs out of entropy
• Cryfs is not a journaling filesystem

TODO

• support additional encrypted filesystems
  • LUKS loopback
• Improve configuration system
  • Cryfs update check
  • Unmount idle time
  • Config validation
• support additional command line options
  • --version
  • pass mount init --force pass-name to overwrite config
• Implement unit tests
• CI

Example Config

Cryfs

Cryfs config -- multi-line entry in pass

encrypted-volume-password-here
type: cryfs
basedir: .cryfs/data
mountpoint: /home/username/data

Udisks

pass-mount can handle encrypted LUKS volumes that have been created with gnome-disks.

The udisks config can be manually initialized via pass edit mount/mydisklabel The uuid can be determined by running findmnt --target /media/$USER/$DISK_LABEL --output SOURCE --noheadings while the encrypted volume has been manually mounted.

Udisks config -- multi-line entry in pass

encrypted-volume-password-here
type: udisks
uuid: 222254e3-c547-4b4e-823a-5181698e0a39

For operating systems such as Ubuntu where hot-plugging an encrypted volume will cause udisks to generate a GUI password dialog, one of the following udev rules can be used to disable automatic mounting via udisks.

70-udisks-ignore-luks.rules
70-udisks-ignore-uuid.rules

Cryptsetup

On systems without udisks installed pass-mount can mount encrypted LUKS volumes by calling cryptsetup via sudo.

A cryptsetup config can be manually initialized via pass edit mount/mydisklabel As an example, the uuid for /dev/sdb1 can be determined by running udevadm info /dev/sdb1 | grep ID_FS_UUID=

cryptsetup config -- multi-line entry in pass

encrypted-volume-password-here
type: cryptsetup
uuid: 222254e3-c547-4b4e-823a-5181698e0a39

Under development

Initial work for initialization of full-disk encryption in progress THIS WILL PROBABLY DESTROY YOUR SYSTEM pass mount init --type udisks -d /dev/sdb --label ORIGIN --dry-run disk/test

WARNING: This code runs parted and can do serious damage.
