persistent-sshfs

Welcome to the chaotic depths of persistent-sshfs, where stability meets anarchy, and your SSHFS mounts cling to your server like a rebel to a cause. No more do we bow down to the tyranny of lost connections and manual remounts; persistent-sshfs is here to disrupt the status quo.

What Is This Madness?

persistent-sshfs is a bash script for the digital anarchist, a tool that ensures your SSHFS mounts are as persistent as your disdain for authority. It tirelessly checks if your mounts are alive, and if they're not, it revives them like a phoenix from the ashes. And it does all this with the elegance of a cat walking across your keyboard – silently, effectively, and with a touch of chaos.

Getting Started

To join the revolution, you'll need:

A Linux machine (the more arcane, the better)
SSHFS (because that's the whole point)
Disdain for manual labor (optional but recommended)

Installation

Installing persistent-sshfs is as easy as spray-painting an anarchy symbol on a firewall. Just run these commands, and watch the magic unfold:

Use wget to pull the script straight from the ethers of the internet:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psyb0t/persistent-sshfs/master/persistent-sshfs

Empower the script with the ability to act:
```
chmod +x persistent-sshfs
```
Move it to /usr/local/bin to unleash it upon your system:
```
sudo mv persistent-sshfs /usr/local/bin/
```

Now, persistent-sshfs is not just installed; it's ready to conspire with you, lying in wait for its moment to act.

Usage

To wield persistent-sshfs, you must provide it with a list of mounts, like whispering secrets into the void. Create a file (mounts.txt) and inscribe it with your desires:

/home/local/dir:user@remote.server:port:/remote/dir
/home/local/dir2:user@remote2.server:port:/remote/dir2

Invoke persistent-sshfs with the path to your list as a sacrifice:

persistent-sshfs mounts.txt

And behold as it tirelessly works to maintain your mounts, defying the very laws of connectivity and physics.

Features

Resurrection: persistent-sshfs will continuously check and ensure that all specified mounts are alive and well, reviving any that have fallen.
Rebellion Against Passwords: It refuses to acknowledge mounts that rely on passwords. SSH keys are the only currency it accepts.
Anarchy in the Background: It runs in the shadows, in the background, ensuring your mounts are persistent without bothering your conscious mind.

Why `persistent-sshfs`?

Because life is too short for manual remounts. Because we believe in automation, in the beauty of a script that does the work for you. And because, in the heart of every sysadmin, there's a little bit of an anarchist waiting to break free.

Join us, and let's make those mounts persistent. Together, we can create a world where no mount ever goes unmounted again. A world of persistent-sshfs.
