PGP File System

PGP File System (pgpfs) is a tool to turn your friendly pgp keyserver into a redundant persistant filesystem.

Installation

From a base Ubuntu 14.04.5 installation, please install the following packages:

apt-get install git python-pip python-virtualenv rng-tools

Check out the repository onto your local machine:

git clone git@gitlab.com:aestetix/pgpfs.git

This creates a directory called "pgpfs." Go into the directory and run

virtualenv .
source bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Fork()

Patched pgpfs code from https://github.com/aestetix/pgpfs. Has now:

argparse
compression / decompression

TODO

add threading
add encryption

TODO for someone with time and skills

Building an vfs based on pgpfs, implementation ideas welcome :)

USAGE

./pgpfs.py -h usage: pgpfs.py [-h] -a ACTION [-k KAT] [-s STORE] [--keyserver KEYSERVER] [--pgpfspath PGPFSPATH] [--gpgbinary PGPFSBIN]

https://github.com/aestetix/pgpfs

Also you need to run an entropy source: rndg -r /dev/urandom
