Re: "SSHFS - Mount remote filesystem over SSH"
If you're interested in using a remote machine as your build server during dev (for bandwidth or processing power) you might also like to try https://mutagen.io/documentation/synchronization .
With SSHFS I think it loads the file over the network each time you read from it. With mutagen you have a local copy that gets pushed across each time you change it. Feels quicker in my experience.

nfs remounts itself when the connection is back very fast. sshfs i think won't remount. but hey, i like sshfs and sometimes use. let's say i use sshfs to sync photos from my "phones" or on some devices i don't want to have nfs+wireguard on.
last time I used NFS in production was probably 10ya so maybe implementation has changed. also it was on aix so probably different from whatever Linux rocks anyway. in any case sounds like your photo sync use case might be a candidate for rsync, no need to mount anything, but that's a choice, and you may have good reasons for mounting
SSHFS - Mount remote filesystem over SSH — I just discovered SSHFS. I haven't tried it yet but I think this would let me use my local development tools on my VPS since the files are 'local'. I know SCP exists but this seems more intuitive.
