app.fuse

Fuse support for app.net files. Or app.net support for fuse...

Usage

Currently this needs a .app.fuse.conf in the current directory like so:

[Auth]
access_token = <an app.net access token>

Then in your checkout of this you do:

virtualenv env
. env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

to get all the needed stuff. Then run it in the same shell with:

python src/fs.py <path_where_you_want_it_mounted>

Then look into the dir with ls or any file-browser to see your files. Well, their metadata and as content their url...

End it all with

fusermount -f <mountpoint_from_above>

Current state

This is pre-alpha!

Currently it lists all your files stored on app.net without any folders. It reads the list of files once upon startup and then uses this.

Ideas for the future

• Learn how to make it a usable app.net application without manual giving it an app.net access_token

• Retrieve actual file contents.

• Cache files locally, maybe in a hidden subdir or in ~/.app.fuse or in a database...

• Update files from the net dynamically.

• Support for writing files.
