sshfs VS crontab-ui

> It's replaced sshfs for some cases.

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As far as I am aware, sshfs is no longer actively maintained.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

I use crontab-ui

have you considered crontab-ui?

With that said, if you really want cron jobs you might want to take a look at Zeit (desktop) or at Crontab UI https://github.com/alseambusher/crontab-ui (web ui).

Check out crontab-UI. Haven't tried it myself as regular crontab works fine for my use case, but I've seen this mentioned a few times in this sub

Thought I'd post here before taking a dive into this and see if anyone has any practical experience. I'm looking for centralising scheduled tasks for multiple servers, preferably with a management GUI for friendliness. I found Crontab-UI which seems to only interact with the single host's crontab. Then I stumbled upon Cronicle which looks feature rich but looks like multi-server is handled by deploying the GUI to each host. A central server + agents on each host would be nicer. I'm wondering if anyone uses Cronicle, or another solution? Thanks!

In the world of cron tools I particularly like https://github.com/alseambusher/crontab-ui for a simple GUI to manage my crons - would be interested to hear if there are other handy packages in the space to check out
