What is this?
Mount samba servers in local filesystem using Fabric.
Assumptions
The following things are assumed to be true in this documentation.
- You are running OSX.
- You are using Python 2.7. (Probably the version that came OSX.)
- You have virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper installed and working.
For more details on the technology stack used with the app-template, see our development environment blog post.
This code should work fine in most recent versions of Linux, but package installation and system dependencies may vary.
What's in here?
The project contains the following folders and important files:
fabfile-- Fabric tasksrequirements.txt-- Python requirements.
Bootstrap the project
To bootstrap the project:
git clone git@github.com:nprapps/samba-mount.git
cd samba-mount
mkvirtualenv samba-mount
pip install -r requirements.txt
Mount samba server into local filesystem
In order to mount a samba server path into our local filesystem, execute:
fab mount:server=$SMB_SERVER,path=$SMB_PATH,mount_point=$LOCAL_PATH
Where:
$SMB_SERVER: is your samba server$SMB_PATH: is the path to mount from the server (defaults towww)$LOCAL_PATH: is the local filesystem mount point (defaults tomnt)
_If you do not pass a samba server parameter, you can define it also as an environment variable named samba_mount_DEFAULT_SERVER
Copy files to mounted folder
In order to recursively copy files into the mounted folder, execute:
fab deploy:src_folder=$SRC_FOLDER,mount_point=$LOCAL_PATH
Where:
$SRC_FOLDER: is the local path to the files you want to deploy$LOCAL_PATH: is the local filesystem mounted point (defaults tomnt)
If you do not want to include the source folder root in the deployment, you can pass an optional flag:
fab deploy:src_folder=$SRC_FOLDER,mount_point=$LOCAL_PATH,include_root=False
In that case all files and subfolder inside the root folder will be deployed directly on the mount point.
Unmount samba server from local filesystem
In order to unmount a samba server path from our local filesystem, execute:
fab umount:$LOCAL_PATH
If you have a long mount process and it is taking too much time and you want to narrow down the mount path, you can force unmount like this:
fab umount:$LOCAL_PATH,force=True
Where:
$LOCAL_PATH: is the local filesystem mounted point (defaults tomnt)
