We used a network-backed temporary RAM disk for use in our RISC-V package build system. Each time a build is started it connected to the NBD server which automatically created a RAM disk ("remote tmpfs"). On disconnection the RAM disk was thrown away. Which is fine for builders, I wouldn't much recommend it for anything else! https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/new-nbdkit-remote-tmpf...
