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
