In addition, we also saw how to get a listing of volumes currently mounted. In this post, we learned how to create, mount, and dismount VeraCrypt volumes from the command line in Linux, specifically Ubuntu. If you don't have any volumes mounted, then VeraCrypt basically shrugs it's shoulders, does nothing, and ends. This can be a useful command to run when you're shutting down your computer, to ensure all volumes are properly shutdown.

If you use just the -dismount parameter, and pass in no values, then VeraCrypt will attempt to dismount ALL volumes you have loaded. Please note that while your blog reader may wrap the command below, it should be one line in your shell script or from the command line. Let's start by looking at the long line of code needed to create a container. We'll explain its use shortly, but you'll need to copy this file into Documents as well, or when the time comes include the full path to it. Second, included in this demo is a randomdata.txt file. This will make it easier as we won't have to specify full paths to our files. So in the terminal be sure to cd into your Documents. First, I'll be storing the container in my Documents folder. OK, let's get started! Creating a Containerīefore we begin I'd like to make two notes. I'll update it over time as needed, and it may be easier for you to download, or cut and paste from it. While I will be providing samples here, you should also check out the project I have on GitHub that goes with this post, VeraCrypt-CommandLine-Examples Sudo dpkg -i įrom here I went into Ubuntu's menu and launched VeraCrypt to validate it installed correctly.
