nameisnotimportant OP , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in How do you work / mount with files stored on your Synology NAS on Ubuntu linux?

Hi again !

You guessed right: I indeed use those files on my computer very occasionally and I'd rather make a shortcut / alias (like you rightly suggested) than mounting the share at every boot. True, if you have quality disks (which are getting more difficult to find nowadays) you shouldn't be worried about wear.

On a side note I could do my tag editing just fine, thanks again for your help!

nameisnotimportant OP , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in How do you work / mount with files stored on your Synology NAS on Ubuntu linux?

You're absolutely right! I'm not super tech-savvy and I was convinced that those file sharing protocols were more or less equivalent (I only tried to compare in terms of speed). I never payed much attention to it because my other computers were doing fine with one or the other.

Thanks! That's a great reference and I'll keep that in my bookmarks 👍

Eventually (with help from others) I mounted the share with

sudo mount -o rw,soft,intr,nfsvers=4 192.your.NAS.IP:/volumeNAME/some-path /nfs

(I don't put it on my fstab to save a bit of wear on my NAS)

Cheers!

Thanks for your help! I did setup my NAS share as NFS capable, and I mapped the users as admin. Using the command mentioned in my other comment I could mount the share successfully and find it in several applications. Cheers!

nameisnotimportant OP , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in How do you work / mount with files stored on your Synology NAS on Ubuntu linux?

Thank you for your insight, I was able to access the share with several applications using a mount point, so I can keep everything in the same place.

nameisnotimportant OP , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in How do you work / mount with files stored on your Synology NAS on Ubuntu linux?

No worries, using your tip and others' comments I could setup the whole thing. Cheers!

Hi again! 
Your command worked very well. Thank you kindly!
The share is indeed available on the mount path.
Experiences with the audio taggers is very uneven though:

• puddletag doesn't see the /nfs mount
• Ntag doesn't see the /nfs mount either
• Ex Falso does manage to see the /nfs mount and I could successfully edit some tags, great!
• Tagger does also manage to see the mount and edits can be made

I cannot so far use everything but having two options is more than enough. Thanks for your help!

NFS is indeed enabled on my NAS, I'll check this later today and report back, thanks for your help

nameisnotimportant OP , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in How do you work / mount with files stored on your Synology NAS on Ubuntu linux?

Thank you for your feedback, I'll have to check on the machine later today. So far, I thought that the share had to be mounted once (on Nemo file manager for instance) so I could find it on the applications. If so, I did it already and it's not showing anywhere else on the software I mentioned.

By the way if you have a suggestion of an application that works for you on this kind of setup I'd be glad to try.

nameisnotimportant OP , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in How do you work / mount with files stored on your Synology NAS on Ubuntu linux?

Thanks for your help! I have to try this at home later today.

Do I have to do this if my network shares are already mounted on the file manager? For example I use Nemo and my NAS is shown on the left side and I felt like my files were already mounted on the system (there's a "eject icon next to the name of the share).
