Mounting Webdav on Login

Echsm · April 24, 2025, 2:19pm

What would be the easiest way to Mount a Webdav to a location when you login.
Writing a script with davfs2 that starts when you login seems to be not the best way and it would make secret management hard because i would have to write my password into the script?!

Is there any easier option?

Thank you in advance.

Systemd mount with sops-nix for passwords. Here’s my Samba and Davfs mounts (you can remove the auto mount directive if you want).

{
  config,
  pkgs,
  ...
}:
{
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    cifs-utils
    davfs2
  ];

  sops.secrets = {
    smbcreds = {
      mode = "0600";
    };
    davfs = {
      mode = "0600";
      path = "/etc/davfs2/secrets";
    };
  };
