The input package facts list Homebrew and Nix packaging, which matches a systems-tool audience that wants the same mount helper available through reproducible package channels. ### How it is used Users provide AWS-style credentials, then run geesefs with a bucket and mount point, optionally specifying an endpoint or bucket prefix. The official README also documents fstab startup usage, Windows operation with WinFSP, environment-variable credentials, and custom credential files through --shared-config. ### Why package nerds care GeeseFS is notable for package-manager users because it is a single Go/FUSE binary at the boundary between cloud object storage and local filesystem semantics, where packaging has to line up with FUSE support, init/fstab workflows, Windows WinFSP usage, and S3 credential conventions. ### Timeline - 0.37.0: Metadata cache memory usage became limited, according to the README's common-issues notes. ### Related projects - The README compares GeeseFS with rclone, Goofys, S3FS, and gcsfuse, and points to a GeeseFS-based CSI S3 driver. ### Sources - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Credential files - Unix: ~/.aws/credentials - Windows: C:\Users\\.aws\credentials ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** geesefs - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - geesefs: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ge/geesefs/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [gcsfuse](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gcsfuse/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-storage, filesystem, fuse. - [s3fs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/s3fs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, filesystem, fuse, object-storage. - [juicefs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/juicefs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-storage, filesystem, s3. - [s3ql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/s3ql/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, filesystem, fuse, object-storage. - [s5cmd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/s5cmd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-storage, filesystem, s3. - [versitygw](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/versitygw/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, filesystem, object-storage, s3. - [filen-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/filen-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-storage, s3. - [garage](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/garage/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, object-storage, s3. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
