So, I've worked with some network filesystems that behave poorly with certain daemons, and one of the solutions I've used was to have a login process copy the data into $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (i.e. /run/user/$UID) and then point the daemon there. Of course, you need a cleanup process that copies it back (or syncronizes it periodically). It's nice that GNOME's dconf has figured this out already, and you can set "service-db:keyfile/user" in /etc/dconf/profile/user instead of "user-db:user", that makes dconf copy the user's config into XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and then periodically sync it back to $HOME as a text file. I suspect you might get some mileage out of that if you use sshfs. If you're familiar with windows, it would be like Folder Redirection and Roaming Profiles. Semi-off-topic: I actually started working on a user daemon that does the sync for a configurable set of directories/files in $HOME, so you could, for example, create a tmpfs for $HOME and sync files from a network homedir. Why do this? Because that network homedir might not support things like hard links, sockets, fifos, or just be really slow. The idea would be to set XDG_CONFIG_HOME at the slow network filesystem, and other XDG_ variables, as described here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html One idea I had was that you could even use this with services like Dropbox (with a proper encryption layer in front of it). Use something like rclone's autofs support: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/wiki/rclone-mount-helper-script ... or just sync directly using the native sync client or the provider. -- Jonathan Billings <billi...@negate.org> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
