Linux - Mirage

FUSE Setup

FUSE mode mounts virtual filesystems as real directories, allowing any tool (not just MIRAGE commands) to access mounted data.

Install FUSE

Ubuntu / Debian
Fedora / RHEL
Arch Linux

sudo apt-get install fuse3 libfuse3-dev

sudo dnf install fuse3 fuse3-devel

sudo pacman -S fuse3

Allow User Mounts

Edit /etc/fuse.conf and uncomment user_allow_other:

sudo sed -i 's/#user_allow_other/user_allow_other/' /etc/fuse.conf

Verify

fusermount3 --version

Only fusermount3 is required: MIRAGE unmounts with fusermount3 when the legacy fusermount is absent, as on Fedora, RHEL, Amazon Linux 2023, openSUSE and Alpine.
