PLAKAR-MOUNT(1)

💅 PLAKAR-MOUNT(1) — the girlies' guide to plakar mount

okay so bestie, welcome to the plakar-mount page from the General Commands Manual ✨ you're gonna mount snapshots and it's gonna eat, i promise 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

plakar-mount — mount Plakar snapshots as a read-only filesystem 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plakar mount [-allow-others] [-to mountpoint] [snapshotID]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so plakar mount mounts a Plakar repository snapshot as a read-only filesystem at the mountpoint you pick. literally it lets you vibe with snapshot contents like they were just... part of your local file system?? iconic. you can browse and grab files without ever explicitly restoring them, no cap 😭

heads up bestie: this command may not work on all Operating Systems. not every OS is invited to the party 💀

in addition to the flags below, plakar mount supports the location flags documented in plakar-query(7) so you can precisely select snapshots. yes, precisely. we love a targeted queen 👑

the options are as follows:

• -allow-others — allow other users to access the mounted filesystem 👯‍♀️ sharing is caring
• -to mountpoint — specify the mount location. the mountpoint can be either:
  • a directory path for FUSE mounts 🗂️
  • an HTTP address including port for remote mounting (e.g., http://hostname:8080) 🌐

if you don't specify it, mount will attempt a FUSE mount in the working directory with a random subdirectory name 🎲 (surprise! it's giving mystery box)

• snapshotID — optional. specifies which snapshot to mount. if not provided, all snapshots are mounted 👑 the whole squad shows up

---

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

plakar-mount exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. simple, clean, no drama 🙈

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

mount all snapshots to a local directory:

$ plakar mount -to ~/mnt

mount the latest snapshot to a local directory:

$ plakar mount -to ~/mnt -latest

mount a specific snapshot by ID to a directory:

$ plakar mount -to ~/mnt abc123

mount all snapshots allowing access by other users:

$ plakar mount -allow-others -to ~/mnt

mount snapshots matching a filter (e.g., snapshots with tag daily-backup):

$ plakar mount -to ~/mnt -tag daily-backup

mount a snapshot to an HTTP endpoint:

$ plakar mount -to http://hostname:8080

mount a specific snapshot to an HTTP endpoint:

$ plakar mount -to http://hostname:8080 abc123
