Automount ecryptfs home in chroot (when using schroot)












0















my host system is archlinux and i need an ubuntu enviornment ready to be used with the files in my home directory. Problem is: my home directory is encrypted using ecryptfs. So when i launch the schroot this is what i get:



 ~ $ schroot -c ubuntu-lts
(ubuntu-lts) ~ $ ls
Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop README.txt


How can i automount my encrypted home directory (possibly without re-entering my password).



To setup my encrypted home on archlinux i have followed this:




  • https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ECryptfs#Encrypting_a_home_directory

  • https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ECryptfs#Auto-mounting


My schroot setup is very simple:



~ $ cat /etc/schroot/chroot.d/ubuntu-lts.conf
[ubuntu-lts]
type=directory
description=Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
directory=/opt/schroot/ubuntu-lts
users=<my username>
aliases=ubuntu-18.04,ubuntu-bionic,bionic
