An Open Source Java 8 and FUSE based virtual file system that mounts a cloud storage account to a local Linux folder.
- Google Drive [1]
Import as a new gradle project and execute bootRepackage task:
gradle bootRepackageThe main jar will be generated in build\libs folder.
To execute the application in a local environment you need
- A Linux distribution (ex.: CentOS 7.1 [2] )
- libFUSE [3]
- A Java Virtual Machine supporting Java 8 (ex.: OpenJDK 1.8 [4])
- A web client supporting SSL (ex.: Firefox 50.1 [5])
This tutorial will be updated at CloudFuse release time and depends on user localization.
Google provide a single page guide to follow at: https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/enable-sdk. No additional steps are needed.
To link a local folder to a Google Drive account enter in your Google Developer Console [6], create a new project specifying a new Project name.
After that in your Dashboard enable Google Drive API.
CloudFuse app needs full authorization to user account, so you also need to add custom App credentials. Go to Credentials of your project and create a new OAuth Client ID, specifying Other in Application type dropdown and a custom name.
After this step Google sends you your client id and a client secret.
Rename the oauth2secrets.gradle.example file in oauth2secrets.gradle and set:
- ext.googleClientID (required): the client ID of your Google Developer Console application (Google Drive API)
- ext.googleClientSecret (required): the client secret of your Google Developer Console application (Google Drive API)
Using CLI create the mounting point folder and execute the result jar:
mkdir /tmp/mnt
java -jar cloudfuse.jarUsing a local web client visit http://localhost:8080/mount and authorize the Google App.
