This is for a new CrunchBang Plus Plus / Debian 12 install. On a scale of 1-10 my linux skills are close to a 3 I would say
I am using the device as a headless Plex server. I have all my media on an external drive. I want the drive to be auto mounted and readable by Plex upon system start
First, I tried adding the UUID to fstab and ended up bricking the system and had to recover with an install USB stick. So that didn't go well. I then installed udiskie, and that kinda works. I have it auto starting by adding the following to the autostart file for Openbox
udiskie --no-notify --tray &
When the system restarts, it does see the drive, but it cannot access the drive contents until I remote into the machine, where I am presented with a login prompt to access the files. If I try to access any media prior to this, it cannot see the files, but if I remote in and enter my password in the prompt and log in, it then works fine (until next reboot).
How can I make it auto log in / not need my password for the system to see the files?
