This code is highly untested, and almost guaranteed to be totally screamingly unsecure by all measures!
Go on using it on your own sole risk only!
Prerequisites
Go 1.x
The iRODS icommands package relevant to your linux distribution, available here, further down on the page.
A properly configured $GOPATH environment variable
The iRODS FUSE module (comes installed, with the icommands .deb package from irods.org)
Installation
Get the code:
go get github.com/samuell/uirods
Build it in some suitable folder, eg:
mkdir -p ~/opt/uirods
cd~/opt/uirods
go build github.com/samuell/uirods
Mount an irods folder in a local folder, using iRODS FUSE:
mkdir -p ~/mnt/irods # Create a local folder where to mount
iinit # Make sure that your iRODS settings are initialized
icd / # Change directory to some iRODS folder you want to mount
irodsFs ~/mnt/irods # Mount the currend folder in iRODS, onto specified folder
Set up some environmental variables (add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile to make it last longer than the current bash session):
export IRODSMNT_FILESPATH='~/mnt/irods'# Your local iRODS FUSE mountpointexport IRODSMNT_IRODSPATH='/'# The iRODS path that you mounted
