CryFS

CryFS encrypts your files, so you can safely store them anywhere. It works well together with cloud services like Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive and others. See https://www.cryfs.org.

Install latest release

Easy install (Ubuntu and Debian)

wget -O - https://www.cryfs.org/install.sh | sudo bash

Manual install (Ubuntu)

# Add apt key
wget -O - https://www.cryfs.org/apt.key | sudo apt-key add -

# Add apt repository
sudo sh -c "echo \"deb http://apt.cryfs.org/ubuntu `lsb_release -s -c` main\" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cryfs.list"

# Install cryfs
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cryfs

Manual install (Debian)

# Add apt key
wget -O - https://www.cryfs.org/apt.key | sudo apt-key add -

# Add apt repository
sudo sh -c "echo \"deb http://apt.cryfs.org/debian `lsb_release -s -c` main\" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cryfs.list"

# Install cryfs
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cryfs

GUI

If you want to use a GUI to mount your CryFS volumes, take a look at the cryfs-gui project. You have to install the GUI and also CryFS itself for it to work.

Building from source

Requirements

Git (for getting the source code)
GCC version >= 4.8 or Clang >= 3.7
CMake version >= 2.8
libcurl4 (including development headers)
Boost libraries version >= 1.56 (including development headers)
- filesystem
- system
- chrono
- program_options
- thread
Crypto++ version >= 5.6.3 (including development headers)
SSL development libraries (including development headers, e.g. libssl-dev)
libFUSE version >= 2.8.6 (including development headers), on Mac OS X instead install osxfuse from https://osxfuse.github.io/
Python >= 2.7

You can use the following commands to install these requirements

    # Ubuntu
    $ sudo apt-get install git g++ cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libcrypto++-dev libssl-dev libfuse-dev python

    # Fedora
    sudo dnf install git gcc-c++ cmake libcurl-devel boost-devel boost-static cryptopp-devel openssl-devel fuse-devel python

    # Macintosh
    brew install cmake boost cryptopp openssl

Build & Install

Clone repository

$ git clone https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs.git cryfs
$ cd cryfs

Build

$ mkdir cmake && cd cmake
$ cmake ..
$ make

Install
```
$ sudo make install
```

You can pass the following variables to the cmake command (using -Dvariablename=value):

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Release|Debug]: Whether to run code optimization or add debug symbols. Default: Release
-DBUILD_TESTING=[on|off]: Whether to build the test cases (can take a long time). Default: off

Troubleshooting

On most systems, CMake should find the libraries automatically. However, that doesn't always work.

Boost headers not found

Pass in the boost include path with
```
 cmake .. -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIRS=/path/to/boost/headers
```
If you want to link boost dynamically (e.g. you don't have the static libraries), use the following:
```
 cmake .. -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=off
```
Fuse/Osxfuse library not found

Pass in the library path with
```
 cmake .. -DFUSE_LIB_PATH=/path/to/fuse/or/osxfuse
```

Fuse/Osxfuse headers not found

Pass in the include path with

 cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/path/to/fuse/or/osxfuse/headers"

CryptoPP library not found

Pass in the library path with
```
 cmake .. -DCRYPTOPP_LIB_PATH=/path/to/cryptopp
```

Openssl headers not found
