Episode Details

Daniel wants a unified virtual filesystem on his home server — one namespace where AI agents can reach any file across shared drives, S3 buckets, and MinIO. This episode breaks down the full architecture: where MinIO should sit, why rclone union beats mergerfs for cloud remotes, and how to handle silent token refresh so agents never hit an auth wall at 3 AM. We cover the dependency chain between union layer, access protocol, and front-end choice — plus a middle path that keeps MinIO useful as a local ingest buffer. If you're building storage for agents, not humans, this is the blueprint. Episode #301046 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/301046
