**Installing The Cloud as a Filesystem on Linux**
To install your cloud directory as a filesystem, you first need davfs2 installed. 99% of the time, this will be included in your distributions repositories. In Debian
`apt-get install davfs2`
If you want to let normal users mount the filesystem
`dpkg-reconfigure davfs2`
and select "yes" at the prompt.
Now you need to add any user you want to be able to mount dav to the davfs2 group
`usermod -aG davfs2 {{DesktopUser}}`
Edit /etc/fstab
`nano /etc/fstab`
to include your cloud directory by adding
`example.com/cloud/{{Username}} /mount/point davfs user,noauto,uid={{DesktopUser}},file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1`
Where {{Username}} is your username at your Red hub, example.com is the URL of your hub, /mount/point is the location you want to mount the cloud, and {{DesktopUser}} is the user you log in to one your computer. Note that if you are mounting as a normal user (not root) the mount point must be in your home directory.
For example, if I wanted to mount my cloud to a directory called 'cloud' in my home directory, and my username was bob, my fstab would be
`example.com/cloud/ /home/bob/cloud davfs user,noauto,uid=bob,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1`
Now, create the mount point.
`mkdir /home/bob/cloud`
and also create a directory file to store your credentials
`mkdir /home/bob/.davfs2`
Create a file called 'secrets'
`nano /home/bob/.davfs2/secrets`
and add your cloud login credentials
`example.com/cloud {{username}} {{password}}`
Where {{username}} and {{password}} are the username and password for your hub.
Don't let this file be writeable by anyone who doesn't need it with
`chmod 600 /home/bob/.davfs2/secrets`
Finally, mount the drive.
`mount example.com/cloud/{{username}}`
You can now find your cloud at /home/bob/cloud and use it as though it were part of your local filesystem - even if the applications you are using have no dav support themselves.
