My use case is for pass. I like to keep my secret files in there, but I still have plain text redudancy, because, well, encrypted files are useless while encrypted.
I would like to have a "virtual file" which any program could accept as its config file where I could control the results of `read()`
In my case, I would associate the current file to its pass equivalent, decrypt the pass equivalent and return the decrypted data.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They address this in the README. https://github.com/pcgrosen/bashfs#why
I appreciate the attempt to help, but I disagree. The README "addresses" a question of "why?". But because that's not a real answer, it's not a valid response to " but really why?"
No, but really, why? I am not putting it down. I just don’t understand what is happening exactly, and the why might help.
I get that it's for fun but the danger is security. Someone could use this as a "fun" feature at work and then get pwned.
I worked on a semi-similar project, to let people turn bash scripts into FUSE filesystems: https://github.com/jasonhansel/microfs For example, this script is used to make a FS that turns the web into a filesystem, so reading /www.google.com/GET will show the Google homepage: https://github.com/jasonhansel/microfs/blob/master/http.sh

Is there something like FUSE for a single file? My use case is for pass.

There's a lot of 'Why?'s here, what I feel from this is that the FS can now be a turing-complete system. This will allow to extend the 'Everything is a file' concept in UNIX (whether it's good or bad is a different question;) to computation. With BashFS, computation & interaction with other programs is now a file; we can 'open' a appropriate file instead of managing subprocesses anymore! This (at least to me) blur th…

microfs looks interesting to me, but unfortunately crashes with a SEGFAULT on Ubuntu 19.04: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff7de88b8 in __GI__IO_fread (buf=buf@entry=0x7fffffffd4f0, size=size@entry=1, count=count@entry=1024, fp=0x0) at iofread.c:35
I may rewrite it in Rust (probably with lots of new features) if there is interest.
Also, this looks like the perfect thing to mount to a /htdocs directory or nfs-accessible folder :)
