tomb
Manage encrypted storage directories that can be safely transported and hidden in a filesystem. More information: https://www.dyne.org/software/tomb/.
- Create a new tomb with an initial size of 100 MB:
tomb dig -s {{100}} {{encrypted_directory.tomb}}
- Create a new key file that can be used to lock a tomb; user will be prompted for a password for the key:
tomb forge {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}
- Forcefully create a new key, even if the tomb isn't allowing key forging (due to swap):
tomb forge {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}} -f
- Initialize and lock an empty tomb using a key made with
forge
:tomb lock {{encrypted_directory.tomb}} -k {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}
- Mount a tomb (by default in
/media
) using its key, making it usable as a regular filesystem directory:tomb open {{encrypted_directory.tomb}} -k {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}
- Close a tomb (fails if the tomb is being used by a process):
tomb close {{encrypted_directory.tomb}}
- Forcefully close all open tombs, killing any applications using them:
tomb slam all
- List all open tombs:
tomb list
