BlobFS

A new version of this project is available here: https://git.sr.ht/~tsileo/blobfs

A FUSE file system built on top of BlobStash with built-in sync and deduplication.

Features

• Content addressed (with BLAKE2b as hashing algorithm), files are split into blobs, and retrieved by hash, blobs are deduplicated (incremental backups by default).
• checkout old versions as immutable snapshot
• Easily share entire directories or single files through BlobStash

Usage

Usage of blobfs-mount:
  blobfs NAME MOUNTPOINT
  -host="": remote host, default to http://localhost:8050
  -immutable=false: make the filesystem immutable
  -loglevel="info": logging level (debug|info|warn|crit)

$ mkdir ~/docs
$ blobfs-mount documents ~/docs

TODOs

• undo cmd like the hammer filesystem
• Better user support
• Better attr support
• A web UI (DropBox like, open source too) available on my.blobfs.com that connect to the user's BlobStash instance
• .ignore file support
• Basic automatic conflict resolution
• Watch the root key for update
• bash/zsh subcommand autocompletion doc
• A put subcommand for upload directory?
• File locking?
