About

Index defined mount points and mount them read-only from cache where the resource is not available (disk unplugged, network not reachable, …).

Configuration

Configuration should be set in a config.yaml file.

Example

remotes:
	- name: my-remote-host
		type: sshfs
		path: user@host:path
	- name: my-passport
		type: disk
		path: /dev/disk/by-uuid/3df07bb7-0182-4744-92f7-3e96dc16dbe7
	- name: on-pc
		type: local
		path: /local-path

Types

• disk: any internal or pluged in disk
• sshfs: an ssh connection using sftp
• local: a local directory

Pathes

• for disk, a udev unique device path using UUID, i.e. starting with /dev/disk/by-uuid/. UUID could be found by running blkid command.
• for sshfs, a sshfs parameter url: [login@]host[,port]:path. port syntax is an addition to sshfs original url.
• for local, a simple real directory path.

Usage

./pycatalog directory

The directory should contains the config.yaml file.

A mount directory will appear inside this where you could find your files.
