s3 object storage as mount
Hi im trying to mount my r2 model storage with rclone, but it fails. the same command worked locally and in google colab.
Is there a way to unlock that feature for us?

I don't think we let you mount directories if you're trying to associate it somewhere on the root (
/), try inside /root?Actually i tried to mount in /home/comfyuser/r2_bucket

actually you can let docker use mounts without privileged permissions,
in my local docker-compose file I did it with:
volumes:
- /dev:/dev
- ./r2_cache/:/mnt/r2_cache
- ./output/:/home/comfyuser/ComfyUI/output
- ./user/:/home/comfyuser/ComfyUI/user
devices:
- /dev/fuse:/dev/fuse # Mount FUSE device
cap_add:
- SYS_ADMIN # Required for mounting FUSE filesystems
i wanted to use mount over download because it lets you download on demand. so instead of downloading all storage at once, models are only downloaded if app tries to access them (when using as mount).
so I hope, Runpod team can unlock that feature as wellfuse wont work
can u fix it?
not possible as nothing is broken
i can use fuse in docker without privileged on my local machine, so why it is not possible on your side?
it's enable exposing fuse device
SYS_ADMIN is a privileged permission.
This is just what fit in a screenshot
still it's less permissive compared to full privileged. anyways when you rent a VM on AWS / Google Cloud you usually get full root access to VM, so I think it would be great if you could give more control to clients as well. mounting is a widely used feature in the cloud computing
that would also allow us to mount RO network volume to other EU regions (not through runpod UI but still)
We just can't do that, our infrastructure provides Docker Containers instead of full VMs (why we do this, I don't know - but I think Container images are more portable anyway). We have to make limitations that keeps containers, containers. We can do things to provide full access to the server directly and block out whole servers so your containers can have (effective) root access but FUSE is one of those things that requires a capability we can't just give out.
Sounds fair, maybe you can allow more multiple and third-party volumes from UI then?
Its limited to only one volume and only Runpods network volume.
I dont propose a specific soultion, I just want to be able to mount my other s3 storages, google drive etc - from UI or from cli doesnt matter.
