What are my options for encrypting data at rest if fuse doesn't work? - rabblehair - 2023-12-13
Basically I have a cloud VM where I have my jellyfin server. Unfortunately fuse doesn't work there, which means that rclone mount doesn't work.
My media is now completely unencrypted. What I would like is at least my media to be encrypted at rest (exactly what rclone mount would do). Are there any other options or am I SOL?

Is rclone unavailable because your cloud provider won't allow it? Or because the VM storage is setup in such a way that rclone doesn't work with it?

Basically the cloud provider does not support fuse in any of their VMs because of the way they are configured. (My guess is they used a shared kernel, but I don't exactly know). Since rclone mount needs fuse to work, it won't work either. (So I guess it's your first option since they don't allow fuse)

I'm assuming this limitation only applies to local storage? Have you considered using another provider for storage only? I've heard of people using BackBlaze and Google Drive in conjunction with rclone.

I actually do exactly that and use a separate provider for storage. The issue is that I'm not able to mount this so that Jellyfin can see it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/o8ast4/encrypted_videos_data_at_rest/ talks about a solution that would work for me. But it's not really something that's needed for most people.
