    Discontinued A network filesystem client to connect to SSH servers

  • 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).

    The Free Software Media System

  • I have already installed a media server application called Jellyfin, which already has its init script for openRC.
