# Minimalist Fuse Manager (MFM)
MFM is a Crystal-lang CLI designed to streamline the management of various FUSE filesystems, such as sshfs, gocryptfs, httpdirfs, and more. Through its user-friendly interface, users can effortlessly mount and unmount filesystems, get real-time filesystem status, and handle errors proficiently.

For Debian/Ubuntu you can use the following command:
```shell-session
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libevent-2.1-7 fzf gocryptfs httpdirfs sshfs
```

mountpoint: "{{env.HOME}}/mnt"
filesystems:
- type: "gocryptfs"
name: "Work - SSH Keys"
encrypted_path: "/home/user/.ssh/keyring.work.vault"
- type: "sshfs"
name: "Personal - Media Server"
