Mount command has disappeared

[nickchomey]

I just tried to use mount, but it doesnt exist. I dont see anything in the changelogs to suggest that it was removed, and the docs still have rustic mount

Have I done something wrong?

And I do not see anything in the changelogs to suggest that it was ever added:)

Use rustic webdav instead. Then mount it.

Or maybe try TUI rustic snapshots -i. Since its introduction I use it exclusively instead of mounting.

I'm almost certain that mount existed at some point. And, again, its in the docs...

rustic snapshots -i do seem to do anything for me.

I am not 100% sure here myself. But docs can be misleading as some parts are just copied from restic and not updated.

It starts very nice TUI. make sure you provided your repo details. Either via toml or directly in the command line. Also wait a moment - it takes few moments to read all it needs.

HI @nickchomey!

About the mount command: Yes, mount has been introduced a while ago. However, it needs support from the OS and additional dependencies (installed libraries) in order to build. Therefore it is only supported for linux currently and is gated behind the mount feature flag. How did you get your rustic binary? The linux versions build via github should contain the mount command, but you may have it installed via you package manager which uses its own build setup, see also #1584.

The alternatives (webdav or interactive mode) proposed by @kapitainsky build and work in any setup; they are compiled-in by default and would need opt-out when compiling.

I'll turn this into a discussion as it might be also interesting for others.
