Does Hledger support encrypting the ledger file? I don't mean placing the ledger in an encrypted container and mounting/unmounting as necessary, but I guess 'natively' as part of the file (think an encrypted Excel document).
I'm a GnuCash user, but my biggest gripe is not being able to encrypt my accounting file. I'd love to have it sync across my devices via x cloud platform, but I'm always paranoid about uploading anything that isn't password protected. If I was able to do that it'd be the push that gets me to switch from the GnuCash GUI to a plaintext account.
Maybe there's some other way I haven't thought of without a high barrier to entry like constantly mounting and unmounting an encrypted container to make changes.
- YaxelPerez 7y agoJust having the ledger in cryptomator works fine for me. Not sure how secure it is.
- Jtsummers 7y agoHledger just works on text files. You’d need some other system to keep them encrypted. I use KBFS which keeps things synced between my devices well enough.
- icebraining 7y agoYou can use a syncing application that encrypts beforehand. The one I use is git-annex, which supports many cloud platforms (as well as plain SSH/FTP/SMB/etc), but there are others.
- AdamGibbins 7y agobeancount does, you can transparently encrypt your data.
- dhruvkar 7y agois there any documentation for this?
