FUSE filesystem for wrapping configs from database to readable files

cfgfs exposes keys in Redis database into readable files in mountpoint directory. Key names must be valid filenames.

Export keys from redis database 1 into testdir in user`s home directory:

./cfgfs.py redis://localhost:6379/1 ~/testdir

Keys from Redis database 1 will be available in testdir directory:

$ redis-cli -n 1 --scan
newfile
test
hello
$ ls ~/testdir/
hello  newfile  test
$ redis-cli -n 1 get hello
"world"
$ cat ~/testdir/hello ; echo
world

Here /PATH/TO/cfgfs.py is actual path to cfgfs.py and /PATH/TO/MOUNTPOINT is actual path to directory where filesystem should be mounted. Redis URL has to be changed with your actual Redis connect string.

Add line to /etc/fstab:

/PATH/TO/cfgfs.py#redis://localhost:6379/0   /PATH/TO/MOUNTPOINT   fuse    auto    0   0

Run following as root to create symlinks and make cfgfs filesystem known to your OS:

ln -sf /PATH/TO/cfgfs.py /usr/sbin/mount.cfgfs
ln -sf /PATH/TO/cfgfs.py /sbin/mount.cfgfs

Then add mount line in /etc/fstab like for usual filesystem:

redis://localhost:6379/0   /PATH/TO/MOUNTPOINT   cfgfs    auto    0   0
