  • Mount an encrypted filesystem:
    gocryptfs {{path/to/cipher_dir}} {{path/to/mount_point}}
  • Mount with the explicit master key instead of password:
    gocryptfs --masterkey {{path/to/cipher_dir}} {{path/to/mount_point}}
  • Change the password:
    gocryptfs --passwd {{path/to/cipher_dir}}
