age is a modern file encryption tool designed as a small and auditable alternative
to traditional OpenPGP workflows. The Freetz-EVO package installs both age for
encryption and age-keygen for key generation.
Runtime details in Freetz⚓︎
- Binary paths:
/usr/bin/age,/usr/bin/age-keygen - Runtime dependency profile: self-contained Go binaries built with
CGO_ENABLED=0 - Externalization: supported for both binaries
Build notes⚓︎
- The package is cross-compiled with the shared Freetz-EVO Go host toolchain.
- No target-side shared Go runtime or libc add-ons are required beyond the base system.
Typical usage⚓︎
Notes:
- Store private keys on writable storage, not in the read-only firmware image.
- age works well for scripted backups and secret-file handling on USB or NAS-backed paths.
