Additional NAS Mounts

If you have more than 1 network share you want to mount, set nas_client_use_additional_paths in inventory/group_vars/all/nas_additional.yml to yes

List of Variables​

Use the below variables to create a list of mappings in the nas_client_remote_additional_paths variable in inventory/group_vars/all/nas_additional.yml.

Confused? See the Example below, a version of it already exists in inventory/group_vars/all/nas_additional.yml so just modify that.

Local Folder​

  • name: Friendly name of the path
  • local_mount_path: Local path to the folder
  • type: Type of path, valid: local

  • remote_path: Remote path to the folder
  • local_mount_path: Local path to where it will be mounted

  • nfs_opts: NFS options, default: defaults

CIFS Share Variables​

  • name: Friendly name of the path

Example​

Below is an example configuration that defines both an NFS mount (the first) and a CIFS mount (the second) that also uses the default mounting location defined in the variable hms_docker_mount_path in file inventory/group_vars/all/main.yml

nas_client_remote_additional_paths:
  [
    {
      name: "Media 4K",
      remote_path: "192.168.1.5:/Media_4K",
      local_mount_path: "{{ hms_docker_mount_path }}/Media_4k",
      type: nfs,
      nfs_opts: "rw,defaults"
    },
    {
      name: "Media NAS 3",
      remote_path: "//nas.example.com/media_3",
      local_mount_path: "{{ hms_docker_mount_path }}_custom_path_3",
      type: cifs,
      cifs_username: "insecureusername",
      cifs_password: "veryinsecurepassword",
      cifs_opts: "rw,soft",
    },
  ]
