Forward mode
- files are always encrypted, become decrypted when mounting
mkdir encrypteddir mkdir plaindir gocryptfs --init encrypteddir gocryptfs encrypteddir plaindir fusermount -u plaindir
reverse mode
- files are always decrypted, become encrypted when mounting
- good for cloud backup syncing
mkdir /home/joe.crypt gocryptfs -init -reverse /home/joe gocryptfs -reverse /home/joe /home/joe.crypt fusermount -u plain -> then rsync/rcloud /home/joe.crypt to insecure cloud storage
