π NAME π
rmount β remote mount folders. Yes bestie, this is the rmount man page, and it is literally about mounting remote folders. Iconic. π
π SYNOPSIS π
rmount [options] [remote-name]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Okay so rmount is a remote mount utility. It parses a JSON file called config.json that lives in the current execution directory β not some random config corner, the directory you're running it from. Think of it like the .ssh/config for ssh, except this one is for sshfs and samba. iykyk. π«Ά
It was primarily developed to network-mount Windows and Linux Virtual Machines to your local machine. That's the main character energy here. Slay. π₯
π OPTIONS π
scan <ssh/samba> <network-range>β this is the option the page lists. Exact shape:scan, then<ssh/samba>, then<network-range>. The manual doesn't add extra explanation here, so we're not gonna make one up. Periodt. π
πΈ CONFIGURATION πΈ
The config file is config.json, and here's the exact JSON layout from the manual β same keys, same values, same formatting energy:
{
"Default":
{
"MountUser":"linus",
"Mountpoint": "/home/linus/Share",
"VMUser":"user",
"VMFolder":"Share",
"IdentityFile": "/home/linus/.ssh/id_rsa",
"SambaPassword":"password"
},
"Hosts": {
"test": {
"Method":"ssh",
"HostName": "test.com",
"RemoteUser":"download",
"RemotePath": "/export/download",
"Mountpoint":"/home/linus/Share"
}
} }
There's a Default block and a Hosts block, and the Hosts example has a host named test. The way that JSON is shaped is the whole vibe check. π
β SEE ALSO β
Go read these too, bestie. Expansion pack. πβ¨
π BUGS π
No known bugs. That's it. The bug list is empty and unbothered. πβ¨
