Welcome to the chaotic depths of persistent-sshfs, where stability meets anarchy, and your SSHFS mounts cling to your server like a rebel to a cause. No more do we bow down to the tyranny of lost connections and manual remounts; persistent-sshfs is here to disrupt the status quo.

persistent-sshfs is a bash script for the digital anarchist, a tool that ensures your SSHFS mounts are as persistent as your disdain for authority. It tirelessly checks if your mounts are alive, and if they're not, it revives them like a phoenix from the ashes. And it does all this with the elegance of a cat walking across your keyboard – silently, effectively, and with a touch of chaos.

To join the revolution, you'll need:

• A Linux machine (the more arcane, the better)
• SSHFS (because that's the whole point)
• Disdain for manual labor (optional but recommended)

Installing persistent-sshfs is as easy as spray-painting an anarchy symbol on a firewall. Just run these commands, and watch the magic unfold:

1. Use wget to pull the script straight from the ethers of the internet:

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psyb0t/persistent-sshfs/master/persistent-sshfs

2. Empower the script with the ability to act:

   chmod +x persistent-sshfs

3. Move it to /usr/local/bin to unleash it upon your system:

   sudo mv persistent-sshfs /usr/local/bin/

Now, persistent-sshfs is not just installed; it's ready to conspire with you, lying in wait for its moment to act.

To wield persistent-sshfs, you must provide it with a list of mounts, like whispering secrets into the void. Create a file (mounts.txt) and inscribe it with your desires:

/home/local/dir:[email protected]:port:/remote/dir
/home/local/dir2:[email protected]:port:/remote/dir2

Invoke persistent-sshfs with the path to your list as a sacrifice:

persistent-sshfs mounts.txt

And behold as it tirelessly works to maintain your mounts, defying the very laws of connectivity and physics.

• Resurrection: persistent-sshfs will continuously check and ensure that all specified mounts are alive and well, reviving any that have fallen.
• Rebellion Against Passwords: It refuses to acknowledge mounts that rely on passwords. SSH keys are the only currency it accepts.
• Anarchy in the Background: It runs in the shadows, in the background, ensuring your mounts are persistent without bothering your conscious mind.

Because life is too short for manual remounts. Because we believe in automation, in the beauty of a script that does the work for you. And because, in the heart of every sysadmin, there's a little bit of an anarchist waiting to break free.

Join us, and let's make those mounts persistent. Together, we can create a world where no mount ever goes unmounted again. A world of persistent-sshfs.
