Best Way To Mount A Directory on Boot

Submitted ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

Basically I have a Navidrome container and it’s pointing at my music in a network mounted folder, what’s the best way to ensure that it’s always there, even after a reboot of my Pi?

Add it to your fstab

Everyone’s saying fstab but if Navidrome is in a docker container, just mount it as a volume on your container. I found this guide that seems to document it fairly well.

phoenixnap.com/kb/nfs-docker-volumes

This is how I’m handling NFS mounts in my docker stacks.

So this is my preferred method, but I found the blog post really confusing. Subsequently, it failed.

  navidrome:
    container_name: navidrome
    image: deluan/navidrome:latest
    ports:
      - "4533:4533"
    environment:
      ND_SCANSCHEDULE: 1h
      ND_LOGLEVEL: info
    volumes:
      - "/opt/navidrome/data:/data"
      - "/nfs/Shared Music:/music:ro"
      - type: volume
      - source: nfs
      - target: /nfs
      - volume:
        nocopy: true
  volumes:
    nfs:
      driver: local
      driver_opts:
        type: nfs
        o: "addr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,nolock,soft,rw"
        device: ":/mnt/HD/Public"

What am I doing wrong?

I’m rather confused by the config you posted. The NFS config should all be down in the volumes: section the only thing you reference in the service section is the name of the volume you define and the path to mount in the container. Something like this (tho I’m guessing as to what should be what with your setup).

services:
  navidrome:
    container_name: navidrome
    image: deluan/navidrome:latest
    ports:
      - "4533:4533"
    environment:
      ND_SCANSCHEDULE: 1h
      ND_LOGLEVEL: info
    volumes:
      - /opt/navidrome/data:/data
      - music:/music
volumes:
  music:
    driver_opts:
      type: nfs
      o: "addr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,nolock,soft,ro"
      device: ":/nfs/Shared Music"

fstab will do it, but the more important question is, what do you want to happen when it doesn’t mount properly? Do you want the system to fail to boot? Do you want navidrome to not run?

It sounds like you’ve got your solution already, but just in case someone stumbles on this later, I thought I’d mention autofs.

I’m coming to prefer it over fstab entries because it handles disconnections nicely and attempts to reconnect. Worth checking out for those who haven’t played with it.

Call me old fashioned, but fstab…
