Keybase and KBFS
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The keybase package includes two daemons which you need to run as regular user
|
|
to access to the most of the Keybase features. "keybase" is the main daemon and
|
|
you can control it with "keybase ctl".
|
|
|
|
KBFS is a distributed and encrypted filesystem. Also, it's used as a remote for
|
|
the encrypted git repos. You need to run "kbfsfuse" to be able to use the
|
|
"keybase fs" commands to access the files on KBFS. The git remote helper can
|
|
work directly with the keybase daemon and it doesn't need the kbfsfuse daemon
|
|
running. Despite the name the daemon will not use FUSE, so you can run it
|
|
without root access.
|
|
|
|
The "kbfsfuse" daemon will wait until the keybase daemon is ready. You can
|
|
start both in parallel without worrying about the order. Upstream uses these
|
|
commands to autostart the daemons (the logs are saved in ~/.cache/keybase):
|
|
|
|
- keybase --debug --use-default-log-file service --auto-forked
|
|
- kbfsfuse -debug -log-to-file -mode default
|
|
|
|
The default mode of KBFS uses part of the memory to speed up the access to the
|
|
most used files on KBFS. Upstream provides the mode "constrained" for systems
|
|
with limited resources which they use for phones but can work also on
|
|
computers. If KBFS is still consuming too much resources, try "memoryLimited".
|
|
It will use the minimal memory required to work but the access to files will be
|
|
slow.
|
|
|
|
Using the Keybase services requires an account on keybase.io. If you don't have
|
|
an account, use "keybase signup" to register a new account and "keybase login"
|
|
to provision every new computer.
|
|
|
|
If you have a weak connection to the internet, you can speed up the access to
|
|
the KBFS files with an encrypted local cache: "keybase fs sync enable
|
|
/keybase/private/youruser".
