Storage & filesystems

How machine data is stored, and how to work with it from your own computer. Placeholder content for now.

The filesystem API

A machine's files are served from the /api/repos/<owner>/<repo>/fs/* endpoints. Content is content-addressed and de-duplicated.

Mounting a drive locally

You can mount any machine's filesystem as a local drive over FUSE using brintos-fs, our open-source client. It presents a brintOS repository as a normal directory on Linux, macOS, or Windows.

Grab it from the Downloads page, then:

brintos login
mkdir -p /tmp/demo
brintos mount <owner>/<repo> /tmp/demo
