Hello,

I am currently using a storage box from Hetzner to store a lot of media.

I don't like to have it unencrypted, even though I believe I only have access to it. Hetzner staff can access it as it is unencrypted. I use it to be mounted via SMB on my VPS and use it as a seedbed storage.

​

I tried to get Cryptomator to work as CLI on ubuntu but it is not very effective. It works in principle but it can not be used properly. Cryptomator would work best since I can use mountain duck to view the files and integrate it into my Mac.

​

what can be done here for encryption ? Can we somehow convince the cryptomator team to focus more on CLI development ? Has anyone managed a home-brew solution for this ?

​

Thanks

Yeah, I've also been disappointed when I found out that Cryptomator is really not designed to be used via cli. Still great and I use it a lot.

For your use case, rclone encrypted remotes are probably the most sensible option.

There's also gocryptfs as a faster and purely cli focused alternative to Cryptomator. It can be installed on macs via homebrew and similar solutions. Cryfs is another option.

SecureFS is another option. Personally I prefer gocryptfs, but securefs is easier to install on Macs.

Oh, thank you for mentioning gocryptfs, this looks really interesting.

If you want to keep the data local and synced across devices, you can use Syncthing untrusted node feature. That's what I do with a cheap-ass VPS for some kind of redundancy between all my devices.
