  • irmadlad@lemmy.worldtoSelfhosted@lemmy.world•Towonel: Open Source drop-in Cloudflare Tunnel alternativeEnglish
    14 hours

    It’s interesting OP. I use the evil Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust, and I’m pretty much sold on it, much to the chagrin of others here. Yes, there are caveats, pros and cons. Even tho I am sold on the product, I would entertain a clone/fork/rewrite if it gave me everything that Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust along with the security features. I’ll do some reading once the blog is back up.

    2 days

    I had one back in the day like that. My notes on that event are old so maybe someone can modify or clarify.

    First you’ll have to find the UUID of the external drive. (lsblk -f) Then create a mount file like: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data.mount. In the mnt-data.mount file, insert something like:

    [Unit]
Description=External HDD Mount
Requires=dev-disk-by\x2duuid-<YOUR_UUID>.device
After=dev-disk-by\x2duuid-<YOUR_UUID>.device
After=local-fs.target

[Mount]
What=/dev/disk/by-uuid/<YOUR_UUID>
Where=/mnt/data
Type=ext4  # Change to ntfs, xfs, etc., depending on your drive format
Options=rw,noatime,nofail

    Enable and reload:

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable mnt-data.mount
sudo systemctl start mnt-data.mount

    Verify status:

    systemctl status mnt-data.mount

    Should say ‘active’. Reboot and test. Let me know if that works. Like I said, that was a while ago. If it works, it’s just another reason why you should doccument your server setups. If it doesn’t, well shucks I tried. LOL
