# Portable Tomb :: the crypto undertaker runs everywhere
[![continuous integration tests badge](https://github.com/dyne/tomb/actions/workflows/portable.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/dyne/Tomb/actions) test coverage status for portability between Ubuntu-20 and FreeBSD-13.
## ⚠️ WORK IN PROGRESS 🛠️
This is the portable version of [Tomb](https://github.com/dyne/tomb) using [Veracrypt](https://www.veracrypt.fr) in place of cryptsetup.
[![software by Dyne.org](https://files.dyne.org/software_by_dyne.png)](http://www.dyne.org)
# Purpose
Portable tomb achieves direct **interoperable access to tomb volumes** between:
- GNU and Busybox Linux
- MS/Windows using WSL2
- Apple/OSX using [MacFUSE](https://osxfuse.github.io/)
- FreeBSD
Portable tomb reduces dependencies and in particular uses only the **POSIX sh interpreter**.
# Status
Portable tomb development is in progress and tracked via issues and the [portable milestone](https://github.com/dyne/Tomb/milestone/9).
## Features
The following features will be implemented where possible:
- mount bind (Linux only)
- ps / slam
- resize (pending investigation)
- index & search ([recoll based](https://github.com/dyne/Tomb/issues/211))
- bury / exhume
## Dependencies
- FreeBSD: `fusefs-libs3 fusefs-lkl e2fsprogs util-linux`
- Linux: `fuse3 util-linux`
- crossplatform [Veracrypt binaries](https://files.dyne.org/tomb3/third-party) console-only
## Note on Veracrypt
The way upstream developers distribute Veracrypt is far from meeting our minimalist needs, but the console-only binary once installed has a few library dependencies and is all what we need.
I setup [my own build](https://github.com/jaromil/veracrypt) and provide binary builds of Veracrypt v1.25.9 for download on Tomb's file repository for testing purposes.
