SSHFS is a file system that allows users to mount and access remote files over SSH (Secure Shell) connections, providing secure and encrypted access to remote data.

Configuration

Following example configuration will mount the remote filesystem /mydata of the host 10.0.1.100 at the destination /mnt. Authentication is done via the user myuser and the private key /root/.ssh/id_ed25519.

fileSystems."/mnt" = {
  device = "myuser@10.0.1.100:/mydata";
  fsType = "sshfs";
  options = [
    "nodev"
    "noatime"
    "allow_other"
    "IdentityFile=/root/.ssh/id_ed25519"
  ];
};
