• Multiuser support

• Mastodon API support, so Mastodon-compatible apps can be used

• Simple but effective web interface

• Easily-accessed MUTE button to silence users

• Tested interoperability with related software

• No database needed

• Totally JavaScript-free; no cookies either

FIGlet is a program for making large ASCII art letterforms out of ordinary screen characters.

The TOIlet project attempts to create a free replacement for the FIGlet utility. It uses the powerful libcaca library to achieve various text-based effects.

LIBNFS is a client library for accessing NFS shares over a network. LIBNFS offers three different APIs, for different use :

1. RAW, a fully asynchronous low level RPC library for NFS protocols. This API provides very flexible and precise control of the RPC issued.

2. NFS ASYNC, a fully asynchronous library for high level vfs functions

3. NFS SYNC, a synchronous library for high level vfs functions.

This package provides an implementation of the exFAT file system, including command-line tools to validate exFAT file systems and to create new ones.

Squashfuse lets you mount SquashFS archives in user-space. It supports almost all features of the SquashFS format, yet is still fast and memory-efficient.

dbxfs allows you to mount your Dropbox folder as if it were a local file system using FUSE.

Watcher may be used as a library or a program that can be used to efficiently watch a file system for changes. This package provides the following components:

include/wtr/watcher.hpp

C++ header library

watcher-c

C shared and static library

wtr.watcher

Command-line interface (CLI)

tw

Minimal, more human-readable CLI variant

This package provides the statically-linked bcachefs from a minimal bcachefs-tools package. It is meant to be used in initrds.

mergerfs-tools is a suite of programs that can audit permissions and ownership of files and directories on a mergerfs volume, duplicates files and directories across branches in its pool, find and remove duplicate files, balance pool drives, consolidate files in a single mergerfs directory onto a single drive and create FreeDesktop.org Trash specification compatible directories.

AVFS is a FUSE-based filesystem that allows browsing of compressed files. It provides the mountavfs command that starts a small avfsd daemon. When a specially formatted path under ~/.avfs is accessed, the daemon provides listings and content access on the fly. The canonical form of virtual file name is:

[basepath]#handler[options][:parameters][/internalpath]

Example file names:

• ~/.avfs/home/user/archive.tar.gz#ugz#utar/path/file

• ~/.avfs/#http:localhost|some|path

emacs-dired-hacks has dired-avfs module which enables seamless integration with avfs.

The WebDAV extension to the HTTP protocol defines a standard way to author resources on a remote Web server. Davfs2 exposes such resources as a typical file system which can be used by standard applications with no built-in support for WebDAV, such as the GNU coreutils (cp, mv, etc.) or a graphical word processor.

Davfs2 works with most WebDAV servers with no or little configuration. It supports TLS (HTTPS), HTTP proxies, HTTP basic and digest authentication, and client certificates. It performs extensive caching to avoid unnecessary network traffic, stay responsive even over slow or unreliable connections, and prevent data loss. It aims to make use by unprivileged users as easy and secure as possible.

However, davfs2 is not a full-featured WebDAV client. The file system interface and the WebDAV protocol are quite different. Translating between the two is not always possible.

bindfs is a FUSE file system for mounting a directory to another location, similar to mount --bind. It can be used for:

• Making a directory read-only.

• Making all executables non-executable.

• Sharing a directory with a list of users (or groups).

• Modifying permission bits using rules with chmod-like syntax.

• Changing the permissions with which files are created.

An overlay FUSE file system that introduces non-determinism into file system metadata. For example, it can randomize the order in which directory entries are read. This is useful for detecting non-determinism in the build process.

TMSU is a tool for tagging your files. It provides a simple command-line utility for applying tags and a virtual file system to give you a tag-based view of your files from any other program. TMSU does not alter your files in any way: they remain unchanged on disk, or on the network, wherever your put them. TMSU maintains its own database and you simply gain an additional view, which you can mount where you like, based upon the tags you set up.

FSArchiver saves the contents of a file system to a compressed archive file, and restores it to a different file system and/or partition. This partition can be of a different size than the original and FSArchiver will create a new file system if none exists.

All standard file attributes supported by the kernel are preserved, including file permissions, timestamps, symbolic and hard links, and extended attributes.

Each file in the archive is protected by a checksum. If part of the archive is corrupted you'll lose the affected file(s) but not the whole back-up.

This package provides an implementation of overlay+shiftfs in FUSE for rootless containers.

This package provides the bcachefs command-line tool with many subcommands for creating, checking, and otherwise managing bcachefs file systems. Traditional aliases like mkfs.bcachefs are also included.

Bcachefs is a CoW file system supporting native encryption, compression, snapshots, and (meta)data checksums. It can use multiple block devices for replication and/or performance, similar to RAID.

In addition, bcachefs provides all the functionality of bcache, a block-layer caching system, and lets you assign different roles to each device based on its performance and other characteristics.

The proc filesystem is a pseudo-filesystem which provides an interface to kernel data structures. This package provides a means to query that system from a Python module. See proc(5) for more details.

This is a file system client based on the FTP File Transfer Protocol.

SiriKali is a Qt/C++ GUI application for managing encrypted folders. It supports various backends, including eCryptfs, CryFS, EncFS, gocryptfs, fscrypt, securefs, SSHFS, and Cryptomator.

RewriteFS is a FUSE to change the name of accessed files on the fly based on any number of regular expressions. It's like the rewrite action of many Web servers, but for your file system. For example, it can help keep your home directory tidy by transparently rewriting the location of configuration files of software that doesn't follow the XDG directory specification from ~/.name to ~/.config/name.

Autofs is a kernel-based automounter for use with the Linux autofs4 module. It automatically mounts selected file systems when they are used and unmounts them after a set period of inactivity. This provides centrally-managed, consistent file names for users and applications, even in a large and/or frequently changing (network) environment.

This package provides several command-line tools to transform a supported file system, such as XFS, into one of a different supported type, such as ext4. All existing file contents, names, and directories are preserved.

The conversion happens in place, without the need to create a complete copy of the original data. This lets you transform almost full file systems on systems where adding (sufficient) additional storage space is not an option.

Do not use this package when you could simply create an empty file system from scratch and restore from a back-up. Transformation is limited, slow, and significantly increases the risk of irreversible data loss!
