Old archives are already hard to read without it crashing [1], and no new bugfixes are expected. Chances are data will become unreadable sooner than later.","Upstream recommends migrating to newer alternatives, like app-crypt\/gocryptfs [2].","Since migrating large quantities of data can take time, please consider migrating everything while it's still possible.","Note: app-crypt\/gocryptfs is better than encfs when used with local storage, but it may be extremly slow over sshfs or CIFS [3].  A faster alternative in such a case would be gocryptfs over rclone mount, or using rclone crypt directly."],"newsid":"2025-09-16-encfs-is-unmaintained","posted":"2025-09-16","title":"encfs is unmaintained","urls":["https:\/\/github.com\/vgough\/encfs\/issues\/651","https:\/\/github.com\/vgough\/encfs\/?tab=readme-ov-file#status","https:\/\/github.com\/rfjakob\/gocryptfs\/issues\/764"]}}
