fastluks 0.0.23

Storage encryption through LUKS

fastluks

Python scripts for storage encryption through LUKS. Converted into python from the bash scripts of fast-luks

For this package to work properly, both the installation and usage procedure must be run as superuser either in an Ubuntu or CentOS machine.

Installation

The procedure to setup a virtual environment and install the package on a CentOS machine is the following:

yum install -y python3
python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install fastluks

To do the same on an Ubuntu machine:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv
python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install fastluks

Usage

To run the main script (which performs encryption and volume setup) with the default parameters, import the package and call the main_script function inside of a python session in the venv:

import fastluks
fastluks.main_script()

The same result can be obtained directly from the command line after preparing and activating the virtual environment with the following command:

fastluks
