Auto Mount SDcard as a network share












0















Hy there, im new in the linux world so i apologize in advance for my dumb question. Is there any easy way to auto mount my SD-card as a network share? I am using a NUC NUC8i5BEH2 as Plex server and there is no monitor connected to the unit.



Thank you!

          I did with a samba share in the past, so assuming you already have a samba server properly setup, if not you can use this guide, proceed installing cifs-utils:



          sudo apt-get install cifs-utils



          And add your entry in /etc/fstab filling with your paramenters:



          //server-ip/share-dir /path-to/mount-point cifs credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials,uid=shareuser,gid=sharegroup 0 0



          Create the .smbcredentials file in your home directory:



          username=<your-user-share>
          password=<your-pass>
          domain=<domain-name>



          secure your ~/.smbcredentials file:



          chmod 0600 ~/.smbcredentials



          test with:



          sudo mount -a



          this should work at boot time as well

          • The samba is working, i have made a folder in /mnt/sdshare with the folowing settings(i want this to be public on my network) [testshare] path = /mnt/sdshare writeable = yes browseable = yes public = yes create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 force user = shareuser now i can access the folder from the pc, now i dont understand the folowing //server-ip/share-dir /path-to/mount-point cifs credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials,uid=shareuser,gid=sharegroup 0 0 where to specify to auto mount the sd-card to the shared folder?

          • Maybe an example could help, in your fstab you should add a line like this adapting the ip, dir name,...: //192.168.0.51/storage /media/myname/Public/ cifs username=YOURUSERNAME,password=YOURPASSWORD,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 using directly your credentials instead of a file. Let me know if it's clearer and if works.
