How to connect to SFTP via rclone/Fuse
I've got a question which prevents me from using Runpod for my use-case at the moment: I'd like to connect Runpod to an SFTP server, and mount the corresponding remote volume to the local filesystem of the pod container - so it can be used like any other directory by apps like blender.
The way to do this usually is to use rclone, or a Fuse mount. This would let me connect multiple pods to a folder for them to write - I know I can do this with a runpod network folder - but also to read from that SFTP drive, which is a local NAS in our office on which we update regularly a lot of massive files, in order to avoid doing the sync manually.
Crawling through the doc, for now I can see how to connect TO the pod via SSH, export data snapshots to S3 & co and use network volume. I've come across the issue below that since "Fuse is not supported by Runpod because it requires granting privileges to the container. Since Fuse is a kernel module, it needs to be supported by the host". Another option would be to use a cloud sync utility like dropbox/gdrive, but this would involve an additional data-transfer from our office volumes to the cloud.
Would love to know if there is a workaround from your team!
Thanks al ot,

Im into the same problem. Their (probably nfs) network volume is too slow for a lot of small files and i cannot mount anything (like a disk image) inside the container
