- ========================
-
- notes directory
- ---------------
-
- On organizing todo lists, see [the p1k3 entry from August of
- 2014](https://p1k3.com/2014/8/23).
-
- For years now, I've kept that sort of thing in a `notes.txt`. At some point
- notes.txt got its own directory with a haphazard jumble of auxiliary files. It
- looks like I turned that directory into a git repository a couple of years ago.
-
- Unlike a lot of what I keep in git, `~/notes/` isn't meant for any kind of
- publication. In fact, it'd be pretty dumb to let it out in the world. So I got
- to thinking: I should really encrypt this.
-
- So what's the best way to encrypt a single directory on Linux?
-
- Two search strings:
-
- - linux encrypted directory
- - encrypted git repo
-
- It looks like maybe [http://ecryptfs.org/][eCryptFS] is the thing? This machine's an
- Ubuntu, so let's see what we can find:
-
- $ apt-cache search ecryptfs
- ecryptfs-utils - ecryptfs cryptographic filesystem (utilities)
- ecryptfs-utils-dbg - ecryptfs cryptographic filesystem (utilities; debug)
- libecryptfs-dev - ecryptfs cryptographic filesystem (development)
- libecryptfs0 - ecryptfs cryptographic filesystem (library)
- python-ecryptfs - ecryptfs cryptographic filesystem (python)
- zescrow-client - back up eCryptfs Encrypted Home or Encrypted Private Configuration
-
- Google suggests that ecryptfs-utils might be what I'm looking for.
-
- I become distracted reading about protests and leave this idea for another day.
