I guess you’ve assumed I haven’t? I appreciate your response, however, the point is it shouldn’t be this convoluted. Go to view, enter UNC. Why is this not a core feature?
There also isn’t much detail in how to achieve using the add-on you prescribe, and the packages you detail in this thread.
This is true. It is possible to mount NAS folder to the Media folder using shell_command: but although possible, this does not seem supported.
In fact, the documentation at Media Source - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) seems to indicate it is not possible for remote folders to be added.
If someone can find official documentation for mounting a NAS folder to Home Assistant, then I am happy to be proven wrong, and will follow it myself to make it work
I would actually like to map a folder for motionEye, as mentioned earlier in this thread, but not to the Media folder as I don’t want all my CCTV footage to appear in the Media Browser. I’d like to have it map to a folder in the Share folder, but have not been able to get the mount to work. Can easily make the folder using shell_command and then mkdir command, but I can’t for the life of me work out how to mount the NAS folder to the dir.
Note: I am using Home Assistant OS on a Home Assistant Blue.
I also would love to mount either an SMB share or an NFS export from HASSIO. My use case is:
I have integrated a Telegram bot into Node-RED running in HASSIO, and I want to be able to integrate either SMB or NFS commands to do the following:
Get directory listings
Change directory
Print the working/current directory
Download a file to my Telegram client’s host (typically a mobile phone)
Upload a file from Telegram client’s host (typically a mobile phone)
The main intent is to provide remote, secure (relative speaking, of course) access to files on my Synology NAS or other SMB or NFS device.
