Mount (EXPERIMENTAL)

In its own package is dfb-mount installed along with dfb. This is EXPERIMENTAL at best. It overlays an rclone mount and presents the latest (or set) version of the files.

Some notes:

  • It does not serve files directly. It overlays an rclone mount. Use rclone mount --vfs-cache-mode full for best effect (especially since it will read the remote a lot). Rclone is way better suited for serving the files
  • It is stateless (except for an optional cache). It doesn't use the remote database and need-not point to a single backup. You can mount many backups (or the top level of one with many backup destinations) and it'll work just fine. If it can't parse a date, it just provides the file and doesn't do any grouping.
  • Unless using the --remove-empty-dirs, empty directories, such as from deleted files, will be shown. Determining if a directory is empty requires walking until it either finds a file or all the way until it doesn't. It is suggested to use the cache with this. You can always use a short cache duration.
  • Logging is incomplete. I still need to fix this
  • Does not resolve symlink files.
  • Just to repeat, THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL.
  • Does not work with libfuse3. Use libfuse2: 
    $ sudo apt-get update -y
$ sudo apt-get install -y libfuse2
