I’m looking for a way to allow users to mount samba shares. Any samba shares. I understand it’s necessary to use something like the following to allow users to run the mount command:
{
security.wrappers."mount.cifs" = {
program = "mount.cifs";
source = "${lib.getBin pkgs.cifs-utils}/bin/mount.cifs";
owner = "root";
group = "root";
setuid = true;
};
}
However, mounting still fails without an explicit entry in /etc/fstab. I find that rather ridiculuous, for a mount in the user’s home directory.
The only way I am able to make it work is by using rclone, but that doesn’t support symlinks for samba, which makes it unusable for some applications.
Is there any way to disable the need for /etc/fstab entries?
