Mount remote smb share on hassio

Installation Home Assistant OS
16

I’ll respond to myself as it’s the only workaround I found with the supervised hass.io… basically use HA to run an automation (shell command) to mount NFS — because CIFS would not cut it. Thankfully my QNAP was simple enough to enable permissive NFS access.

Here are things that failed:

  • Using rc.local
  • Using fstab
  • Mounting CIFS in the homeassistant Docker container

This NFS mount worked and it runs after Home Assistant starts:

configuration.yaml

shell_command:
  map_nas_video_folder: mount 192.168.0.100:/_NASVIDEO /mnt/_NASVIDEO

automation.yaml

- alias: Map NFS Drive to HassIO
  id: map_nfs_drive_to_hassio
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
  action:
    - delay: '00:00:15'
    - service: shell_command.map_nas_video_folder
