EFS TUI
The Morph EFS TUI is the normal interactive EFS experience.
morphcloud efs tui
Use it when you want to inspect EFS state, create or mount a filesystem, watch mount status, unmount, or browse files from an active mount without stitching together several CLI commands.
The TUI is the interactive EFS experience and a browser for mounted paths. It does not stream file contents through the EFS API.
Open the TUI
Start the TUI:
morphcloud efs tui
Open a specific filesystem:
morphcloud efs tui shared-files
If exactly one ready filesystem is visible, morphcloud efs tui can open it directly. If more than one ready filesystem is visible, pass the filesystem name explicitly.
Common workflow
- Start the TUI with
morphcloud efs tui. - Create or select a filesystem.
- Mount the filesystem.
- Browse files from the active mount.
- Unmount when you are done.
- Quit the TUI.
For direct shell workflows, the equivalent commands are:
morphcloud efs create shared-files
morphcloud efs mount shared-files
ls ~/morph-efs/shared-files
morphcloud efs unmount shared-files
Visible controls
The TUI shows the active controls in its footer. The main controls are:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
r | Refresh the current view |
R | Run a deeper refresh |
j / k | Move selection |
c | Create a filesystem |
m | Mount the selected filesystem |
u | Unmount the selected filesystem |
b | Browse files from an active mount |
Enter | Open the selected item while browsing |
Backspace | Move up while browsing |
q | Quit |
Browse behavior
File browsing depends on an active mount. If the filesystem is not mounted yet, mount it from the TUI or with:
morphcloud efs mount shared-files
The default mounted path is:
~/morph-efs/shared-files
After the mount is ready, the TUI can browse from the mount path.
When to use the TUI vs CLI
Use the TUI for interactive inspection and day-to-day exploration. Use the CLI commands when you need a repeatable script, JSON output, or a short one-off command.
