Using SSHFS (with Haiku)

Because we’re using sudo, we have to specify the identify file to use (for pubkey authentication).

sudo sshfs -o follow_symlinks,allow_other,IdentityFile=$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa user@$IP_ADDRESS:/ sysroot

This will mount a remote installation in the directory sysroot, which is super handy with Haiku.

We can use pkgman in our running Haiku installation to add any packages we need.

Using Within Haiku

In Terminal 1 (leave running in the background):

/system/servers/userlandfs_server sshfs

In Terminal 2 (can close once done)

mkdir /mountpoint
mount -t userlandfs -o 'sshfs nobody@example.com:/path/to/mount' /mountpoint
