Any news or progress on this? I've been fighting with installing
ecryptfs now for days (first time using it) after installing Ubuntu 18
by following these instructions: https://www.howtogeek.com/116032/how-
to-encrypt-your-home-folder-after-installing-ubuntu/amp/.
These instructions fail with
Another ecryptfs use case that I didn't notice in these comments:

I have similar use-case as @urop. I had my /home partition encrypted

Thanks for not including properly documented migration paths from
ecryptfs-encryption to encrytion X.
I'll stick to 17.10 for the time being.

Jut be aware that, apparently, ecryptfs does not automatically encrypt
back your /home on user logout.

Thank you Dimitri. The dropbear initramfs technique looks interesting.
It ought to provide a solution for my use case... I'll give it a go.

@urop
You should switch to using ecryptfs / ext4 encryption.
For remote password entry, one can include ssh server in the initramfs
and use e.g. dropbear i believe it is called, to ssh into the initramfs
to enter passphrases to unlock the fully disk encrypted systems.
Either of these things are
I'd like to add another use case requiring non-full disk encryption.

done using a wake-on-lan. The machines are not full-disk encrypted, but
make use of encrypted homes and certain encrypted disks/partitions that
can be
Would people please note that full-disk encryption is already possible,
where everything on a new installation is encrypted even including
/boot, but without wiping any existing OS such as Windows. (This is why
the existing full-disk encryption is not useful for the majority of
users.)

Good work Urop and great follow-on documentation of your experiences!

Thank you Chris. Having first checked my backup, your post gave me the
confidence to start the upgrade. It was a complete nightmare. I thought
my system was completely borked. The upgrade (using do-release-upgrade)
froze part way through, immediately after reporting the following to the
console:
It _WILL_ work. I've done it.
17.10 --> 18.04 _upgraded_ with ecryptfs 'home'.

I currently have several installs with encrypted homes. Today I was
going to upgrade the first of them, in this case, from 17.10 to 18.04.
Having one last scan of the release notes before upgrading, I spotted

@Seth-Arnold I don't think your comment is relevant to the problem. Let
expand on @savvdm Dmitry's comment, for I feel that a couple of balls
were dropped, too.
Some of us have caught the habit of using a separate /home partition
from the early days for the convenience of data-, settings-, and

Is it possible to do this automatically from (alternative) installer? Or
should I learn to do this manually? Full disk encryption is not an
option for me. I can only encrypt individual partitions.

fscrypt is not yet ready. As of now, ubuntu 18.04 "LTS" does not offer
encryption support for directories. Several use cases cannot be
satisfied with full-partition encryption.

"Full disk encryption" doesn't actually mean the full disk -- it means a
specific block device, so you could leave your NTFS partitions alone and
encrypt only your ext4 partitions (and swap partitions, if you use
them).
You've got two real options:
- block device encryption such as via dm-crypt
