DroidFS relies on modified versions of the original encrypted filesystems programs to open volumes. [CryFS](https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs) is written in C++ while [gocryptfs](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs) is written in Go. Thus, building DroidFS requires the compilation of native code. However, for the sake of simplicity, the application has been designed in a modular way: you can build a version of DroidFS that supports both Gocryptfs and CryFS, or only one of the two.
Moreover, DroidFS aims to be accessible to as many people as possible. If you encounter any problems or need help with the build, feel free to open an issue, a discussion, or contact me by [email](mailto:hardcore.sushi@disroot.org) or on [Matrix](https://matrix.org): @hardcoresushi:matrix.underworld.fr
You also need to manually install the [Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#command-tools) and the [Android Native Development Kit (NDK)](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads) (r23 versions are recommended).
If you want a support for Gocryptfs volumes, you must install [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) and libssl:
Retrieve your Android NDK installation path, usually something like `/home/\<user\>/Android/SDK/ndk/\<NDK version\>`. Then, make it available in your shell:
```
$ export ANDROID_NDK_HOME="<yourndkpath>"
```
Start by compiling FFmpeg:
```
$ cd app/ffmpeg
$ ./build.sh ffmpeg
```
## libgocryptfs
This step is only required if you want Gocryptfs support.
```
$ cd app/libgocryptfs
$ OPENSSL_PATH="./openssl-1.1.1p" ./build.sh
```
## Compile APKs
Gradle build libgocryptfs and libcryfs by default.
If you want to build DroidFS with support for both Gocryptfs and CryFS, just run:
```
$ ./gradlew assembleRelease
```
# Sign APKs
If the build succeeds, you will find the unsigned APKs in `app/build/outputs/apk/release/`. These APKs need to be signed in order to be installed on an Android device.
If you don't already have a keystore, you can create a new one by running:
