First Linux (Ubuntu). Question on mapping drive letters (lemmy.ca)

I need to map network shares from my Synology NAS and also from a Win11 Pro desktop. There are just so many variations on how to do this. All I need to do is map drive letters to shares on startup so they are always available.

Sorry for the noob question.

To keep it simple, I am migrating a Windows PC running Sonarr to an Ubuntu PC. So looks like I need samba to access the windows shares. I now see Linux doesn't use drive letters, so I mount the windows share to a mount point on Ubuntu. 2. No, haven't done anything yet, just reading and trying to understand the differences.

    the arch wiki is a great resource for this kind of thing:

    But why aren't you running sonarr on your NAS instead?

    My goal is to have: Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Immich, tautulli, qbittorrent all running on this Linux box. There's no way my poor Synology could do that, so I'll keep them together. Thanks for the references, I'll take a look.

    idk about tautulli, and immich can be taxing depending on what you enable I think, but everything else is lightweight. Anyway, did you manage to set up the mountpoint? After that if you run *arr apps, those are likely in docker/podman so you'll have to add the directory to their configuration.yaml

    My nas is extremely old, I'd rather not put apps on it, plus I already purchased this mini pc.

    So, doing some searching, I decided to give my list of apps I needed to copilot and see what came back. The AI answer is I should 100% use Docker to run all the apps on the Linux box. Feel free to jump in and disagree if you think otherwise.

    So now, I am going to do the reading to install docker, and then move to installing the ARR containers. Other than the mount points, any cons I should be aware of with this scenario?

    Well, containerization can mess with GPU acceleration if you want to use Immich's auto-description-whatever-function. Also mind that docker runs as root, so don't just spin up random containers from unknown sources.
