Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I don't know why you'd need a reboot to remount the thing. Are you just not familiar with how to add something to /etc/fstab and mount it manually and are relying on some kind of auto-mounting system that only happens to run at boot, or is it giving some kind of error?
If an error, what happens when you do:
?
This is correct. I made my drive auto mount using /etc/fstab, and I believe that is only checked once during boot.
You can run mount -a to mount all fstab entries. You could put that in a cronjob I guess
If I were to make it run that command every 5 minutes, would there be any downsides?
I don't know if it has side effects when there's issues with mounting or the like.
It would also interfere if you want to unmount it and forget to disable the cronjob.
Nah, that's good. What I mean is, if it's in /etc/fstab, it should be possible to manually mount it without a reboot. Have you tried manually remounting it after power comes back?
Nope, I haven't tried that. But I will give it a try when the next power outage occurs. I actually didn't know I could manually remount until today. I'm still pretty new to selfhosting.
Gotcha. Yeah, the stuff in fstab is just a convenience; it's equivalent to running a bunch of mount commands at boot. You might be able to just run "mount" again without the '-o remount" option. I was just listing that in case you were seeing some kind of errors in trying to manually mount it.
