obsideo-cli 0.2.8

Obsideo Cloud - encrypted storage we can't read. Save, browse, and sync whatever you want, from your terminal.

obsideo-cli

Encrypted storage we can't read. Save, browse, and sync whatever you want from your terminal. Files are encrypted on your machine before they leave, so Obsideo's gateway, coordinator, and storage providers only ever see ciphertext. Your data lands on three independent providers (RF=3).

pip install obsideo-cli
obsideo login    # email -> 3 GB free
obsideo          # open the shell

Get started

$ obsideo login
Enter your email: [e-mail]
Check your email for a verification code.
Enter verification code: 482913
You're all set. 3 GB free.

Login is handled by Obsideo's signup service at signup.obsideo.io: it emails you a one-time code and provisions your free tier. There's no password - just your email and a local key (see How it works).

Then either drop into the shell or run one-shot commands:

$ obsideo
obsideo:/ put ~/notes.txt
obsideo:/ ls
  [file] notes.txt  1.2 KB
obsideo:/ put ~/photos                       # a whole folder, uploaded recursively
obsideo:/ put "C:\My Files\tax return.pdf"   # paths with spaces: just quote them
obsideo:/ mkdir trip
obsideo:/ cd trip
obsideo:/trip/ put ~/cat.jpg
obsideo:/trip/ get cat.jpg ./downloaded.jpg

How it works

obsideo is a thin front-end over the shared obsideo_core layer (storage seam, signing identity, account crypto, email-OTP login). The mlvault ML extension builds on the same core - build the core once, two front-ends.

• Encryption: AES-256-GCM with one account data key held locally at ~/.obsideo/data.key. Copy that key to another machine and everything is readable there; lose it and the data is unrecoverable by design. Back it up.
• Signing identity: an Ed25519 key (~/.obsideo/signing.key) authorizes deletes (Principle 2 - the network can't delete your data without your signature). Generated locally; only the public half is ever sent.
• Filename encryption: on by default (encrypt_names). Each path component (folder names + filename) is encrypted on your machine with AES-SIV - deterministic, so ls/cd still list under the encrypted prefix and the client decrypts the returned tokens back to real names. Turn it off with config set encrypt_names false (interop/debug; existing objects aren't migrated).
• What Obsideo sees: ciphertext only - never a filename or a byte of content. Residual leaks (by design at this level): directory structure (depth, fan-out), object sizes (ciphertext ≈ plaintext), and object counts. Identical names encrypt to identical tokens, so Obsideo can tell two objects share a name - never what it is.
