obuilder-fs is no longer used to provide obuilder on macos. This project is archived for reference purposes only.
The File System for OBuilder x MacOS -- it's sole purpose is to redirect calls heading to some path (e.g. /usr/local) to a directory pointed to
by a symbolic link inside another folder (e.g. /data/scoreboard/) using the UID of the Fuse Context of the caller (e.g. /data/scoreboard/<uid> ~~> /Volumes/tank/result/<hash>). To make this clearer here is a series of steps this FS should take:
(1) Mount obuilder-fs to /usr/local with scoreboard /data/scoreboard
(2) User mac705 makes a call like: ls /usr/local
(3) obuilder-fs intercepts and calls: readlink on /data/scoreboard/705
(4) successful readlink returns: /Volumes/tank/result/abcde12345
(5) obuilder-fs list the directories inside /Volumes/tank/result/abcde12345
The CLI tool is very simple as expects <scoreboard-path> <mount-point> <fuse-args-like-allow-other>....
A typical usage would be:
sudo obuilderfs ~/scoreboard /usr/local -o allow_other
