encdev: mount and unmount encrypted devices

encdev is a small command line tool to mount and unmount encrypted devices, without typing their passwords, using udisks through dbus.

How to use it

Save the list of your devices with their uuid and password in file ~/.encdev:

devices:
  foo:
     uuid: ced296b5-5fdc-4285-9963-72b8dcba1114
     passwd: some_password
  bar:
     uuid: 0eF3Ey-4hjJ-ijb6-ogiw-WgFh-qwg0-91oKp8
     passwd: some_other_password

Check the status of currently plugged devices:

$ encdev status
foo: locked

Unlock and mount device foo:

$ encdev mount foo
Unlocked foo
Mounted foo

Check the status again:

$ encdev status
foo: mounted

When you’re done using this device, unmount and lock it:

$ encdev lock foo
Unmounted foo
Locked foo
