Mount remote server using SSHFS

[Phingum]

Hi

 

Sorry if i mix up some terms, very new to all this.

 

I'm trying to map a remote box on my local Unraid server using SSHFS (as i read that was the only way). I found some bits and pieces around on different forums, but was unable to find an exact guide on how to do this.

 

So far i have succeeded in mounting it in the terminal in Unraid and is can see all the files on the remote box when i do an ls command. So far so good..

 

Now my problem is.. How do i get it to show up in my Docker container, so i can read the files, inside the Docker apps, i.e. Sonarr, Radarr and so on.

 

I installed sshfs-fuse using Nerd Tools.

The command i used to mount the share in the terminal is:

sshfs <username>@<hostpath>:/ /mnt/user/box

 

Inside my docker i tried filling it out like this:

Container Path: /box

Host Path: /mnt/user/box

 

Anyone that can help me on what i am doing wrong?

Usually this is done with the Unassigned Devices plugin

did you ever get this sorted?

 

I currently have a truenas server I want to mount in unraid. I have it mounted using UD as an SMB share but it is extremely unstable and connection drops regularly. I have tried using NFS too but for the life of me I just cant get the permissions working properly. 

 

So at this point I'm just looking for any option to mount a network drive in unraid thats stable.
