Make sure you can connect to the share using hostname.local. see [[Local Host Names.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.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.
