sirikali -- manage user encrypted volumes
sirikali provides a graphical user interface for managing
encrypted volumes for a user.
The actual mounting/encryption process is managed by another
service. The supported services are CryFS, EncFS, GocryptFS, and SecureFS.
At least one of these services must be installed.
Encrypted volumes are created using the "Create Volume"
menu. The encrypted data is stored at the "Volume Path". For
normal password protection, use the "Key" option.
To unmount a volume, click on the volume path and select
'Unmount'.
To mount an existing volume, select "Mount Volume",
select the directory containing the encrypted data, and enter the key
information.
Options:
- -d dir
- Path to where a volume to be auto unlocked/mounted is located.
- -m

- -e

- -b
backend
- A name of a backend to retrieve a password from when a volume is open from
