Mounted drive not showing space correctly, shows local storage, non-docker installation

[mgrimace]

Hello,

First and foremost, I'm using a standard install of homepage and not a docker install (I saw the solution for a docker version was to mount the storage into the container as well, I do not have a homepage container).

I have my media storage as an openmediavault CIFS share, mounted into the virtual machine where homepage lives (via fstab):

I set my widgets.yaml file with two disks - / and - /mnt/media:

This is what I get in my homepage (both entries just show the local storage, rather than the 2TB media drive):

For additional information, here's my fstab, (I mounted /data to /media hence why it's called media in the widgets.yaml:

#media
//[IP]/data /mnt/media       cifs       noperm,iocharset=utf8,rw,credentials=/root/.storage_credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0       0

I'll answer this myself, as I ended up going to a docker version of Homepage in a Proxmox LXC.

This assumes you have a media share via CIFS/SMB (e.g., OMV), that you've shared a folder called data, and that you have a username and login for this share.

1. Make sure the container is privileged
2. Install CIFS utils on your LXC: apt install cifs-utils

Step 1: Mount the share to your LXC

Add the mount to, nano /etc/fstab

Add the following, making sure to use your own OMV IP

#media
//[Media share IP]/data /mnt/media       cifs     ro,noperm,iocharset=utf8,rw,credentials=/root/.storage_credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0       0

note, I added ro, here to be read-only, I'm not sure what the other modes/options do yet

Add your credentials (i.e., your SMB user and password) to nano /root/.storage_credentials

username=[username] #type it in as-is, without the []
password=[your password] #type it in as-is, without the []

Reboot the system

Step 2: Mount the share to your Homepage docker compose

version: "3.3"
services:
  homepage:
    image: ghcr.io/benphelps/homepage:latest
    container_name: homepage
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    volumes:
      - /opt/appdata/homepage/config:/app/config # Make sure your local config directory exists
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock # (optional) For docker integrations, see alternative methods
      - /mnt/media:/media #this is my mounted media share
    restart: unless-stopped #this is added from the initial instructions
    environment:
      PUID: 1000
      PGID: 1000

Step 3: Define the drive in your widgets.yaml

Add /media to your disks to show your shared storage that we defined above as 'media'. I ended up removing the default container disk / because I don't care how much the Homepage LXC is using/free, just the overall system

- resources:
    cpu: true
    memory: true
    expanded: true
    disk:
      - /
      - /media
