# cmd-localfs

Prototype of remote commands with access to local directory

## Setting up

You need Docker.

## Build and run the server

The server daemon needs to run in Docker. You can build and run it with make:

```

$ make build run-server

```

## Running the client

To quickly test, you can connect using `make client`. This is slightly boring since

you'll always be in this project directory. But it made a binary called `cmd-client`

that you can use from ANY directory.

```

$ ./cmd-client localhost:2222

...

```

Now try running the server on a remote machine and use the same client with it. It's currently

hardcoded to always use the `alpine` image as the command environment. This defeats the point

a little, but isn't the main point of *this* prototype.

## Limitations

Not sure the best way to configure sshfs (you can see what I approximate as the right options

in the code) and I'm not sure how much of this problem is the SFTP server implementation BUT:

Any files you create in the `/local` mount will be created but not written to and return an error.

For example, `touch` does make the file but returns an error that it couldn't. Using `mv` doesn't work.

You can, however, `touch` a file, ignore the error, then pipe data into the file with output

redirection for example.
