LUKS with remote header, encrypted key

# create encrypted key
export GPG_TTY=$(tty) 
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=8388607 count=1 | gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 --output KEY.gpg
# allocate empty file for hader with size
truncate -s 2M HEADER.img

#encrypt
# NOTE: the LUKS header will be overriden with mkfs
gpg --decrypt KEY.gpg | cryptsetup --cipher serpent-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha512 --header HEADER.img --key-file - luksFormat DEV

#check result (instead of DEv it is the header)
cryptsetup luksDump HEADER.img

#add fallback password if the KEYFILE is lost (to the header not to DEV)
mkfifo /tmp/gpgpipe 
gpg --decrypt KEYFILE | cat - >/tmp/KEYFILE2
cryptsetup --key-file /tmp/KEYFILE2 luksAddKey HEADER.img

rm -vf /tmp/KEYFILE2

#open
gpg --decrypt KEY.gpg  | cryptsetup --header HEADER.img --key-file - open DEV enc

# and close

replace string in dir

grep -rl STRING1 .  | xargs ^Cd -i 's/STRING1/STRING2/g'

Note: This replaces STRING1 to STRING2 even in hidden dirs, which can mess up your .git/index

p1 ; p2 ; p3 ; ...

Executing programs sequentially, stop if one fails:

p1 && p2 && p3 && ...
