Mounting encrypted volumes helper

crypt-mounts' purpose is to reduce to one the commands needed to mount punctually encrypted volumes.

Introduction

One defines their mounts in mounts.conf, giving for each:

• the mapper name (usually defined in /etc/crypttab);
• the mount target path;
• the file system type;
• a friendly name for the mount (optional);
• a boolean for enabling auto-locking (i.e. closing encrypted volume when unmounted) or not;
• a boolean for enabling mount timeout (useful to prevent hanging at boot).

The install script then generates a Systemd mount file for each mount, with the required bindings.

Files

• template.mount is a template for Systemd mount units.
• close-vault.conf.template is a Systemd drop-in template, for auto-locking.
• timeout.conf is a Systemd drop-in for mount timeout.

Installation

• mounts.conf.template contains a mount definition example, and should be copied locally in mounts.conf.d as <something>.conf, for each of your mounts.
• install.sh script copies Systemd templates to their destination, depending on your definitions in mounts.conf.d.

TODO

• Nothing
