You can install BorgBackup any way you like with any FUSE implementation. This is not related to Vorta. Vorta just needs the binary available.
Hi m3nu, I guess the improvement that I feel should be made is that ideally Vorta would somehow find the available FUSE implementation and set the necessary environment variables, since the basic purpose of a GUI frontend is to avoid arcane command hacks for beginners.
On my system, Vorta doesn't work to mount archives with any of the fuse packages that Tumbleweed offers in its main repos, it complains of missing llfuse
specifically. I tried the python38-fuse
, python38-fusepy
, and python38-pyfuse3
packages, and none of them give Vorta the needed functionality. I finally found a non-official python38-llfuse
package that makes it work. I imagine most other distros will eventually remove llfuse
pretty soon. From the previous link I read it looks like python38-pyfuse3
should provide what BorgBackup needs, but only after setting the appropriate environment variables.
FYI, the non-official python38-llfuse
package provides these files:

When and which env var would Vorta set? Not sure I understand what you are suggesting.
Sorry for not explaining. From what I read I understood that it would work with BORG_FUSE_IMPL=pyfuse3
.
How can Vorta know which FUSE implementation to use? If you are suggesting a new kind of heuristic, it will be better placed in Borg itself.
Ok, thanks. Looks like there's no good solution for this.
Hi there, I'm using Vorta 0.7.5 on openSUSE Tumbleweed. It looks like
llfuse
is no longer available in Tumbleweed, which I imagine is because it appears to be deprecated: https://pypi.org/project/llfuse/It looks like Borg supports
pyfuse3
, but it would have to be set via an env variable if I understand this correctly: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/5545
