Can I open a Plasma Vault on Gnome?

Help
1

I wish to share the encrypted vault across machines (say via Syncthing) and then be able to access it on another that is not running KDE.

I know that there is a CLI method to open the vault, but that still requires plasma-vault and therefore, a lot of KDE to be installed. Is there some way I can directly use gocryptfs to open and mount it?

You can!

gocryptfs [location of synced vault]/[name of vault].enc [location you'd like to mount the unlocked vault to]

But there is no such file with an .enc extension.

The list of files/dirs in the location of the encrypted vault look something like this:
$ ls -la Documents/.vault/
total 60
drwxr-xr-x 12 user user 4096 May 2 19:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 50 user user 4096 May 2 19:48 ..

Actually, what you suggested did work. I just had to point it at the directory that held the vault, and then mount it at some empty location:

$ gocryptfs ~/Documents/.vault ~/Vault/
Password: 
Decrypting master key
Filesystem mounted and ready.

Thanks!
