Mount sshfs at boot or login

Mount sshfs at boot or login

[Reza Housseini]

Hi Guixers

I am searching a possible configuration to mount an sshfs filesystem at
boot or login.
Do I use the pam-mount-service-type [1] for this? Are there any examples of
a configuration?
Additionally I would like to use encfs on top of the mounted sshfs, also
when possible at boot or login?

Thanks for any advice?

Cheers,
Reza

I don't think PAM is required.

Personally I use autofs service [1], but it's not upstreamed to Guix
repository because of:

- restarting service does not work, need to stop and start instead.
- mount -t fuse requires /bin/ssh and /bin/sshfs [2]

Other that that, it works pretty well with configuration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service autofs-service-type
         (autofs-configuration
          (mounts (list
                   (autofs-mount-configuration
                    (target "/mnt/ssh/workstation")
                    (source ":sshfs\\#ws1.wugi.info\\:/home/oleg"))))))

;; mount -t fuse and autofs
(extra-special-file "/bin/sshfs"
                    (file-append sshfs "/bin/sshfs"))
(extra-special-file "/bin/ssh"
                    (file-append openssh "/bin/ssh"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
