I have SSHFS on my server and would like to have it automatically mounted and store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers. I am able to get it to all work except for mounting on startup. The server is Debian 12 and both clients are Tumbleweed. Nothing in fstab seems to work. When I add x-systemd.automount, well, at best programs that try to use it crash and at worst I have to go through recovery mode to get the system to boot properly. I am using ed25519 keys with no passwords for authentication. Does anyone know how I could get this to work?
Why use SSHFS for that? I recommend using Syncthing, it’s great for synchronizing stuff across multiple PCs (local and remote).
So that you don’t have copies of files everywhere.
What do you mean “everywhere”?
everywhere you want to use the files.
I don’t really know what that is. I could try it though.
Edit: I don’t really like having the files on all computers, I would rather just have them all in a central place where everything can access them.
Why not NFS?
I want it to be encrypted and kerberos seems like too much work.
