remotefs-fuse
~ A FUSE Driver for remotefs-rs ~
Developed by @veeso
Current version: 0.1.0
Get started
First of all you need to add remotefs-fuse to your project dependencies:
remotefs-fuse = "^0.1.0"
these features are supported:
no-log
: disable logging. By default, this library will log via the log
crate.
Example
use remotefs_fuse:: Mount;
let options = vec! [
# [ cfg ( unix ) ]
remotefs_fuse:: MountOption:: AllowRoot,
# [ cfg ( unix ) ]
remotefs_fuse:: MountOption:: RW ,
# [ cfg ( unix ) ]
remotefs_fuse:: MountOption:: Exec,
# [ cfg ( unix ) ]
remotefs_fuse:: MountOption:: Sync,
# [ cfg ( unix ) ]
remotefs_fuse:: MountOption:: FSName( volume) ,
] ;
let remote = MyRemoteFsImpl:: new( ) ;
let mount_path = std:: path:: PathBuf:: from( " /mnt/remote" ) ;
let mut mount = Mount:: mount( remote, & mount_path, & options) . expect ( " Failed to mount" ) ;
let mut umount = mount. unmounter ( ) ;
// setup signal handler
ctrlc:: set_handler( move || {
umount. unmount ( ) . expect ( " Failed to unmount" ) ;
} ) ? ;
mount. run ( ) . expect ( " Failed to run filesystem event loop" ) ;
Requirements
Linux : you need to have fuse3
installed on your system.
Of course, you also need to have the FUSE
kernel module installed.
To build remotefs-fuse
on Linux, you need to have the libfuse3
development package installed.
In Ubuntu, you can install it with:
sudo apt-get install fuse3 libfuse3-dev
In CentOS, you can install it with:
sudo yum install fuse-devel
macOS : you need to have the macfuse
service installed on your system.
You can install it with:
brew install macfuse
Windows : you need to have the dokany
service installed on your system.
You can install it from https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany?tab=readme-ov-file#installation
remotefs-fuse comes with a CLI tool remotefs-fuse-cli to mount remote file systems with FUSE or Dokany.
cargo install remotefs-fuse-cli
Features
remotefs-fuse-cli can be built with the features below; each feature enables a different file transfer protocol
aws-s3
ftp
kube
smb
: requires libsmbclient
on MacOS and GNU/Linux systems
ssh
(enables both sftp and scp ); requires libssh2
on MacOS and GNU/Linux systems
webdav
All the features are enabled by default; so if you want to build it with only certain features, pass the --no-default-features
option.
Usage
remotefs-fuse-cli - o opt1 - o opt2=abc -- to /mnt/to -- volume < volume-name> < aws-s3| ftp | kube | smb | scp | sftp | webdav > [ protocol- options...]
On Windows the mountpoint can be specified simply using the drive letter --to M
will mount the FS to M: \
where protocol options are
aws-s3
--bucket < name>
--region < region>
(optional)
--endpoint < endpoint_url>
(optional)
--profile < profile_name>
(optional)
--access-key < access_key>
(optional)
--security-token < security_access_token>
(optional)
--new-path -style
use new path style
ftp
--hostname < host>
--port < port>
(default 21)
--username < username>
(default: anonymous
)
--password < password>
(optional)
--secure
specify it if you want to use FTPS
--active
specify it if you want to use ACTIVE mode
kube
--namespace < namespace>
(default: default
)
--cluster -url < url>
memory: runs a virtual file system in memory
smb
--address < address>
--port < port>
(default: 139
; Linux/Mac only)
--share < share_name>
--username < username>
(optional)
--password < password>
(optional)
--workgroup < workgroup>
(optional; Linux/Mac only)
scp / sftp
--hostname < hostname >
--port < port>
(default 22
)
--username < username>
--password < password>
webdav
--url < url>
--username < username>
--password < password>
Other options are:
--uid < uid>
: specify the UID to overwrite when mounting the remote fs. See UID and GID override .
--gid < gid>
: specify the GID to overwrite when mounting the remote fs. See UID and GID override .
--default-mode < mode >
: set the default file mode to use when the remote fs doesn't support it.
Mount options can be viewed in the docs at https://docs.rs/remotefs-fuse/latest/remotefs-fuse/enum.MountOption.html .
UID and GID override
❗ This doesn't apply to Windows.
The possibility to override UID and GID is used because sometimes this scenario can happen:
my UID is 1000
I'm mounting for instance a SFTP file system and the remote user I used to sign in has UID 1002
I'm unable to operate on the file system because UID 1000
can't operate to files owned by 1002
But of course this doesn't make sense: I signed in with user who owns those files, so I should be able to operate on them.
That's why I've added Uid
and Gid
into the MountOption
variant.
Setting the Uid
option to 1002
you'll be able to operate on the File system as it should.
Project stability
Please consider this is an early-stage project and I haven't heavily tested it, in particular the Windows version.
I suggest you to first test it on test filesystems to see whether the library behaves correctly with your system.
