Unison and Gocryptfs on FreeBSD

Hi,

This is not strictly a Unison "issue" but rather finding an alternative 
of my current setup to use Unison and some sort of Fuse alternative with 
FreeBSD. Let me explain.

My current setup is, one PC with Debian Bookworm, a Mac mini and a 
Macbook Pro. All three computers I have installed Unison (latest 
version) and Gocryptfs, which I use to have an encrypted folder with the 
option of -plaintextnames so everything is encrypted except the 
filenames, that way I can see what files will be synchronized and what 
direction. Then I synchronized my files with Unison to a private server 
which acts as a central point.

So no matter which computer I use, I have a copy of all my files on 
every computer including the server. I've been using this setup for the 
last 6 years and it's been working really great.

A few weeks ago I gave a FreeBSD a try and I liked it very much, all my 
software is also available on FreeBSD with the exception of Gocryptfs 
which is not supported or available on FreeBSD

Since I totally rely on Gocryptfs I looked for other options such as 
CryFS or encryptFS but they neither of them have the option to NOT 
encrypt the file names, so that's a no go.

I don't think there is a solution to my particular setup.. I have looked 
very hard and even try to use Gocryptfs with the Linux binary support on 
FreeBSD, but since Gocryptfs relies on https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/hanwen/go-fuse__;!!IBzWLUs!W8EAF-mQvO-FM8_YUxa_mZcNFiOdcq5a3KNAyoAXxIw_ZEitmk9M1wZ1GXJf9YXFnpWxYCHhfw1UzfvBRzv8MCOlnOQzjwYJZw$  
library it doesn't really work.

So, since some of you I think are using BSDs with Unison I just wonder 
if anyone has an idea or solution to my problem. I used gocryptfs 
because has support for macos and Linux, but I would love to use FreeBSD.

Thanks!
Lluc
