This is tested on Fedora 24 and Fedora 31 Workstation with active SELinux.

This also works on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS after installing libpam-mount:
```
$ sudo apt-get install libpam-mount
```


Feedback on other platforms
is welcome.

gocryptfs
---------

Copy the `gocryptfs` binary into `/usr/local/bin` .

Create a gocryptfs filesystem:
```
$ mkdir $HOME/cipher $HOME/plain
$ gocryptfs -init $HOME/cipher
```

pam_mount config
----------------

Put the following into `/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml`, just before
the closing `</pam_mount>` tag at the bottom:

```
<volume user="YOURUSERNAME" fstype="fuse" options="nodev,nosuid,quiet"
path="/usr/local/bin/gocryptfs#/home/%(USER)/cipher" mountpoint="/home/%(USER)/plain" />
```

Replace `YOURUSERNAME` with your user name.

PAM config
----------

An example `/etc/pam.d/sshd` on Fedora 24 and an example `/etc/pam.d/sddm` on Fedora 31 Workstation is shown below. Basically, pam_mount must be called two times:
 1. As the last element in "auth" so it gets the password.
 2. As the last element in "session", where it performs the actual mount.

`/etc/pam.d/sshd`
```
#%PAM-1.0
auth	   required	pam_sepermit.so
auth       substack     password-auth
auth       include      postlogin
# Used with polkit to reauthorize users in remote sessions

# vvv insert here #

session    required     pam_loginuid.so
# pam_selinux.so open should only be followed by sessions to be executed in the user context
session    required     pam_selinux.so open env_params
session    required     pam_namespace.so

Encrypting the whole home directory
-----------------------------------

Use this volume definition in `/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml`:

```
<volume user="testuser" fstype="fuse" options="nodev,nosuid,quiet,nonempty,allow_other"
path="/usr/local/bin/gocryptfs#/home/%(USER).cipher" mountpoint="/home/%(USER)" />
```
