ilias-fuse

Finally, a FUSE filesystem for the ILIAS installation at the KIT! It enables you to mount your view of ILIAS on some directory so that you can browse the files and folders of your ILIAS courses with your shell or file manager and access them (almost) like local files.

Cloning

Please use git clone.

Dependencies

• requests
• BeautifulSoup
• pyfuse
• and, of course, Python 3

You can also use pip (and venv):

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

% ilias-fuse.py /path/to/your/mountpoint

For advanced options, see the output of

% ilias-fuse.py --help

Caveats

1. This is an immature and crude hack. (But by using it you might uncover problems I haven't found yet.)
2. Only files and directories are supported, as I did not find a proper FS abstraction of ILIAS's excercises.
3. File sizes of text files may be too small (ILIAS bug?).

Contribute

• Please send me your pull requests!
• In case you know someone responsible for ILIAS at the KIT, please kindly ask them to enable the WebDAV support of ILIAS so that this crude hack can be deprecated in favour of the correct solution.
