dotfiles VS sshfs

I suggest looking at https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim for your configuration starting point. https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim also provides cool preconfigured setup. You can take a look at my https://github.com/kiyoon/dotfiles to see how I configured. I didn't use any of the preconfigured ones.

0.4.3 is too old and yeah you should upgrade. Nothing will crash but first uninstall what you have. Appimage is just like a binary. You can download it and execute it directly. You should put nvim.appimage to somewhere in your path. I've also made a script to do this: script it will install both tmux and neovim the latest version to ~/.local/bin and if you set that to your $PATH environment variable then the installation is done

solution

I'm glad it helped :) I had to do this kind of thing a lot when I configure my neovim. For example, I wanted to use tmux.nvim to sync registers with tmux. I also wanted to use OSC52 so I can copy from remote server to the local computer's clipboard. I wanted to use yanky.nvim so I can cycle through registers when I paste. All of them are mapped to p key. The entire configuration is here

See my dotfiles for how I install the latest neovim, tmux, zsh, and other apps all locally. I also work remotely very often I managed to install everything without sudo.

I'd been using sshfs for some years until I learned that rclone can mount remotes to the file system, and I've been using that happily since then.

Interesting, I alaways assumed sshfs was part of OpenSSH, learn something new every day.

Also, looks like sshfs used in Slackware is abandoned.

A quote from the link, I wonder if this project will be the 'one':

>If you would like to take over this project, you are welcome to do so. Please fork it and develop the fork for a while. Once there has been 6 months of reasonable activity, please contact [email protected] and I'll be happy to give you ownership of this repository or replace with a pointer to the fork.

I also wonder if it was abandoned due to the RHEL re-orgs like what happened to bluetooth.

SSHFS offers a solution for connecting to SSH servers through a network filesystem client. Enables users to seamlessly mount remote filesystems, without any server-side requirements. Underknowledge appreciates it "for mounting remote machines."

However, my setup relies on me using sshfs to "mount" a remote directory (which houses the media that jellyfin uses). For jellyfin to have access to this directory, it has to run the command under its user (based on sshfs manpages).

So I need to work with remote files and wondered how people here go about that. I've looked at sshfs, which seems the most obvious way to go and presumably would work fine (?), but it is an archived project; and tried distant.nvim, but that didn't click too well.

As far as I am aware, sshfs is no longer actively maintained.

After getting a bit discouraged since the easy solution failed, I ended up discovering that you can mount a remote filesystem over ssh using sshfs.
