This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

NFS is weird to me because the only security seems to be by what ip is connecting?

I only access it over a local network or wire guard. It's not perfect security, but also I'm willing to accept that risk.

And the encryption you hopefully put on your files.

If the server is going to serve them in a useful way, they need te be decrypted. Pretty inconvenient to decrypt every file before use.

I find that decrypting locally is piss-easy, you only have to do it once on mounting the drive. Maybe not if you use shitty devices like smart TVs.

You mean decrypting on the client, or full disk encryption on the server?

What are you using?

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Decrypting on the client. Create an encrypted container on the server (e.g. with gocryptfs), mount the drive on the client, decrypt the container and mount the decrypted container as a drive.

I guess that works.
