# sshautofs

fuse automount sshfs filesystems  

Access any remote server filesystems through a `` directory  

Remember OGFS ?

* automatic access to servers filesystems through fuse-sshfs when accessing `/`

  * transparently use sshfs to mount `sshfs :/ -ssh/`

  * creates symlink `/ -> -ssh/` to access

  * automatic unmount after timeout

* special cmd directory allow specific remote commands on servers

## Prerequisites

* fuse sshfs

* fuse3

  

## Usage

```

$ ./sshautofs

Usage: ./sshautofs [options] 

Example: ./sshautofs ~/mnt

Options:

  -F string

        ssh config file to use

  -cmd value

        Remote commands to expose in /cmd// (e.g. -cmd ps='/bin/ps -ef' -cmd ...)

  -foreground

        Run in foreground (do not daemonize)

  -o string

        Additional sshfs options (e.g. -o reconnect,ro)

  -remote_path string

        Remote path to mount through sshfs (default "/")

  -timeout duration

        Timeout before unmounting unused sshfs mounts (e.g. 30s) (default 10m0s)

```

## Example

```

$ sshautofs -cmd ps='/bin/ps -ef' ~/servers

$ cd ~/servers/myhost

$ ls -l

> * Automatically mounts `sshfs myhost:/ ~/servers-ssh/myhost` accessible through `~/servers/myhost` symlink  

> * the mount is expiring by default after 10min, the sshfs will be unmounted after 10min without access.  

> * In the special `cmd` directory, a cat `~/servers/cmd/myhost/ps` executes `ssh myhost 'ps -ef'` and display output
