Use cases

common standard file management
access and modify metadata with extended attributes
TODO: map any store as filesystem as a better node browser

Try out

see the drops directory for pre-build AMPs for the Alfresco part

Building

There is no automake setup (yet). It feels so overkill to have all that complicated automake stuff for one source file. To simplify this, a simple script make.sh is provided that compiles the module.

Try it out yourself

check out the project with git
install the missing libraries below
see the retest.sh script on mounting options
build the Alfresco modules and install them to your Alfresco server

Note on the Alfresco modules

Go the directory alfrescp/alffs-repo-amp and use the script build-repo-amp.sh to create the repository side AMP which needs to be installed to Alfresco.

Dependencies for building

ubuntu packages: libfuse-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libjson0-dev libattr1-dev uthash-dev

Turn off syslog rate limiting: add $SystemLogRateLimitInterval 0 to /etc/rsyslog.conf
