overly.sh

A small script to save your SSD based on OverlayFS. Moves browser profile and browser cache to /tmp

Why?

Yes, there is a profile-sync-daemon, but it often breaks the profile and is unstable (how, if it's just a bash script?). This little script was created for that reason.

Install

git clone https://github.com/LexSerest/overly.sh
cd overly.sh
make install

Config

To change folders, use /usr/share/overly/config.conf.

Uses folders by default:

Cache: $HOME/.cache/google-chrome.

Run

systemctl --user start overly

# for automatic synchronization once per hour
