To mount Google Cloud Storage Bucket onto a directory on a local machine for processing. Using a manjaro environment and installed gcsfuse manually.
in the gs://bucket01, there are directories containing jpg and json files
go get -u github.com/googlecloudplatform/gcsfuse
$GOPATH/src/github.com/googlecloudplatform/gcsfuse
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/run/media/manjaro/gcp/key.json gcsfuse bucket01 /run/media/manjaro/gcp/bucket01
Using mount point: /run/media/manjaro/gcp/bucket01
Opening GCS connection...
Mounting file system...
File system has been successfully mounted.
cd /run/media/manjaro/gcp/bucket01
ls
# empty
# The expected outcome is data from gs://bucket01 populates /run/media/manjaro/gcp/bucket01
# Updates in /run/media/manjaro/gcp/bucket01 will also be seen in gs://bucket01
