Portable Tomb :: the crypto undertaker runs everywhere

continuous integration tests badge test coverage status for portability

⚠️ WORK IN PROGRESS 🛠️

This is the portable version of Tomb

software by Dyne.org

Purpose

Portable tomb achieves direct interoperable access to tomb volumes between:

  • GNU base Linux (Ubuntu)
  • Busybox based Linux (Alpine)
  • MS/Windows using WSL2 (Ubuntu)
  • FreeBSD (WIP using libluksde)
  • Apple/OSX using MacFUSE

After some extensive testing during 2022, adoption of Veracrypt in portable Tomb has been dropped because of unreliability and bad performance.

Portable tomb stays as an experimental branch that aims to reduce 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.

Features

The following features will be implemented where possible:

  • mount bind (Linux only)
  • ps / slam
  • resize (pending investigation)
  • index & search (recoll based)
  • bury / exhume

Dependencies

  • FreeBSD: fusefs-libs3 fusefs-lkl e2fsprogs util-linux libluksde
  • Linux: fuse3 util-linux
  • crossplatform Veracrypt binaries 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 and provide binary builds of Veracrypt v1.25.9 for download on Tomb's file repository for testing purposes.
