PGP File System

PGP File System (pgpfs) is a tool to turn your friendly pgp keyserver into a redundant persistant filesystem.

Installation

From a base Ubuntu 14.04.5 installation, please install the following packages:

apt-get install git python-pip python-virtualenv rng-tools

Check out the repository onto your local machine:

git clone git@github.com:aestetix/pgpfs.git

This creates a directory called "pgpfs." Go into the directory and run

virtualenv .
source bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

pgpfs is simple to use. It is able to both store and fetch documents from the keyserver. Here are examples of usage:

store

To store the file sample.mp3 and save the Key Allocation Table (kat) in sample.kat, run:

python pgpfs.py store sample.mp3 sample.kat

This will create a file called sample.kat to be used when you want to retrieve your file.

fetch

To fetch the file sample.mp3 from the keyserver, assuming the kat file is called sample.kat, run:

python pgpfs.py fetch sample.kat sample.mp3
