+Make sure you can connect to the share using hostname.local. see [Local Host Names](LocalHostNames.md)
+
+**if changing location of the scripts** you need to update the script name to match the path exactly
+
+Create a file called `.tardis-creds` in your home dir and set it so it's only readable by you like before.  
+Put
+
+```
+username=tess 
+password=tess`
+```
+
+in the file
+
+create the file `/etc/systemd/system/mnt-tardis.mount`  
+In the file put the below:
+
+
+
+```
+[Unit]
+Description=Mount SMB share Tardis
+# We require network connection before proceeding.
+Requires=network-online.target
+After=network-online.target systemd-resolved.service
+Wants=network-online.target systemd-resolved.service 
+
+Mount] #
+"What" is what will be mounted. ie our NAS SMB share
+What=//tardis.local/files
+# "Where" is where it will be mounted in the filesystem
+Where=/var/mnt/tardis
+Type=cifs
+# Let the mounted filesystem be read/write-able
+# Let the mounted filesystem be owned by the 'tess' user/group
+# Use the specified credential file for the connection 
+Options=rw,uid=<uid>,gid=<gid>,nofail,credentials=/home/**username**/.tardis-creds
+# Lets quit trying after 30 seconds 
+TimeoutSec=30  
+
+[Install] 
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+
+Also replace `uid=<uid>,gid=<gid>` with your user and group id respectively.  
+They will probably both be 1000 (so `uid=1000,gid=1000`), but you can check with `id` or `id **username**`
+
+This is telling systemd how to mount your drive.
+
+Now create the automount file `/etc/systemd/system/mnt-tardis.automount`  
+In that file put:
+
+```
+[Unit] 
+Description=Automount SMB share Tardis  
+
+[Automount]
+# Adjust mount location to match yours.
+Where=/mnt/tardis
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target`
+```
+
+Now we want to make the directory it will be mounting to  
+`sudo mkdir /mnt/tardis`  
+
+Then we reload systemd  
+`sudo systemctl daemon-reload`
+
+First we start the .mount, and check for errors
+```
+sudo systemctl start mnt-tardis.mount 
+systemctl status var-mnt-tardis.mount
+```
+Then if there's no issues we can stop the normal mount and enable automount
+
+```
+sudo systemctl stop mnt-tardis.mount 
+sudo systemctl enable --now var-mnt-tardis.automount
+```
+(`enable` means we are telling it to run on boot, and `--now` it telling it to also start it now)  
+We could just enable the normal mount and have it mount on boot, but automount will mean it will only connect to the samba drive when we try to access it.
+
+now we should see it show up under `/mnt/tardis`  
+And if we reboot it should show up still.
+
+For reference Aiden based it off  of  [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ymjnjy/mounting_smb_shares_with_systemd/) this post, just modified to this situation and me
+
+if running [Bazzite](Bazzite.md),  becuase of how fedora immutable distros are setup you need to use `/var/mnt`. the actual path is `/var/mnt` and `/mnt` is just linked to it.

 ### Secure Boot
 If setting up secure boot with EndeavourOS, don't use the preset grub. do it from scratch.
