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.
For more information on using SSHFS on NixOS, refer to NixOS Manual: Chapter - SSHFS File Systems.
You may want to connect to the machine 'interactively' once before configuring the connection declaratively, to add the remote key to your 'known hosts'.
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"
];
};
Note: You will also need to enable SFTP on the server you are trying to connect to.
