A lazy in-memory FUSE filesystem for locally exploring Zenodo records
nix develop --command python3 zenodofs.py --mnt [MOUNT_POINT] --api-key [ZENODO_API_KEY] [RECORD_ID]
For example:
nix develop --command python3 zenodofs.py --mnt zenodo_mnt --api-key 1a2b3c4e5f67890 11208389
It will mount ZenodoFS at zenodo_mnt with the "content" of the record 11208389
If you don't want to use Nix, you will need Python3, the requests and pyfuse3 python libs.
Mounting the filesystem will query the information about the files (name, size) but will not query the content.
At every call to read on a file the content will be downloaded, and stored in memory.
It is also possible to decompress archives.
I wrote this as a proof of concept in an evening, I am even surpised it works.
Don't expect performance.
Not all syscalls are implemented yet.
