This is quite possibly one of the craziest things that I might be able to find a practical use case for. Using FUSE means that I could use any number of cloud providers, or my own local systems.
I'm envisioning using this off a USB drive, allowing a full installation to run off the network device while cloning it to a local drive to bootstrap, then when the cloning is complete, reboot into the newly-installed system, then have the installed system replicate back to the network storage for its 'live backup'.
Should be pretty doable. Rclone mount allows setting up a cache space on the local drive, so if you keep the cloud copy as the “true” version, you don’t need to download the entire thing first....
Should be pretty doable. Rclone mount allows setting up a cache space on the local drive, so if you keep the cloud copy as the “true” version, you don’t need to download the entire thing first. You could probably set it up to maintain the cache between reboots so it would functionally be a local system with a cloud space extension. Pretty cool project.
