udiskie VS jellex

The most common approach (though a bit different) to get write access for users is probably using udisks[1]/udiskie[2] which use udev and polkit [3]. udiskie even supports luks unlocking [4].

https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie looks close, but does it work without desktop environments? Is there alternatives to udiskie that doesn't require desktop environments and supports unlocking LUKS encrypted volumes?

Based on https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/blob/master/doc/udiskie.8.txt and https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/issues/66#issuecomment-289204539, you probably need to create a configuration for the encrypted hard disk in the file ~/.config/udiskie/config.yml. For example, as follows.

For example, I typically ran things like lxpolkit, nm-applet, redshift, udiskie and xfce4-power-manager when I used i3.

By running udiskie in your i3 session, for example.

This. There is also udiskie, a GUI tool with notification icon, support for unlocking encrypted partitions, powering off USB devices, and so on.

I've used udiskie to handle removable drives in i3.

You could do something like this in pure python without the json loading boilerplate with jello[0]. An interactive TUI for jello called jellex[1} is also available. (I am the author)

Also, Jellex is a TUI front-end to Jello that helps with interactively querying the JSON.

I wrote something similar to this to query JSON and JSON lines with python instead of awk for text. It’s called Jellex (Jello Explorer) which is a TUI front-end to Jello. Jello is a python analog to JQ.

There's a new TUI for jello now called jellex that can help you create your jello python filters faster and easier.

I made this TUI app using prompt-toolkit
