✨ NAME ✨

buildbox-fuse — bestie, that's literally it, that's the name 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. the way this works is you run it like this, and it mounts stuff, and it's giving very much "let me handle the filesystem for you" energy:

debian/buildbox/usr/bin/buildbox-fuse [OPTIONS] MOUNTPOINT

so it's [OPTIONS] first, then your MOUNTPOINT at the end — the mountpoint is the main character here, everything else is supporting cast 🎀

and here's the full menu of flags, no skips, no skimming, we do NOT leave options behind in this house:

  • --help — prints this message and then dips out. print and exit, periodt ✨
  • --version — prints the version info and bounces. same vibe, different info 👑
  • --local=PATH — the local CAS cache directory. that's where the local goodies live 🍓
  • --input-digest=PATH — path to the input directory digest 📥
  • --input-digest-value=DIGEST — same idea, but you hand over the digest directly, and DIGEST has to be formatted as <hash>/<size>. note the slash, bestie, it matters 🫶
  • --output-digest=PATH — path to the output directory digest 📤
  • --digest-function=FUNCTION — picks your digest function. default is SHA256, and the options are SHA512, SHA384, SHA256, SHA1, MD5. choose wisely, the vibe depends on it 🌈
  • --remote=URL — the URL for your remote CAS server 🌐
  • --server-cert=PATH — public server certificate for TLS, and it's PEM-encoded. yes, PEM-encoded, don't come at me 🔐
  • --client-key=PATH — private client key for TLS, also PEM-encoded. private! keep it private! 🙈
  • --client-cert=PATH — public client certificate for TLS, PEM-encoded as well 💫
  • --prefetch — prefetches the input directory from the CAS server. getting ahead of the game, love that for us 🔥
  • --output-times=PATH — path for the timestamp output file ⏰
  • --capture-mtime — captures the last modification timestamps 📸
  • --capture-mode — captures file modes 🎀
ngl bestie, if you're reaching for the TLS flags (--server-cert, --client-key, --client-cert) just remember they're all PEM-encoded, every single one, no exceptions 💖

and that's the whole page, you ate that 🫶 this was buildbox-fuse version 1.4.16, from August 2026 — iconic, timeless, no notes 💜
