Mount a WebDav-supported network disk under Linux to expand VPS space

Some time ago, I bought a novos nextcloud network disk that supports WebDav. Below are simple instructions for mounting to a VPS, which can expand a small VPS.

Novos's nextcloud cloud storage purchase link: https://billing.novos.be/store/novos-brick

1. The simplest way to mount a network disk that supports WebDav

1. Install davfs2

Ubuntu/Debian

 apt-get install davfs2

CentOS

 yum install davfs2

2. Create a directory and mount it

 mkdir /novos
mount -t davfs https://brick.novos.be/remote.php/dav/files/Account/ /novos

Just enter your account number and password.

2. Advanced Usage

1. Create a user for davfs2

 usermod -aG davfs2 username

2. Create the directory that needs to be mounted and the personal configuration file directory

 mkdir ~/novos
mkdir ~/.davfs2

Copy the configuration file

 cp /etc/davfs2/secrets ~/.davfs2/secrets

3. Set user permissions ( Change to your own username)

 chown : ~/.davfs2/secrets
chmod 600 ~/.davfs2/secrets

Edit ~/.davfs2/secrets and enter the WebDav network disk information, such as:

 https://brick.novos.be/remote.php/dav/files/Account/Username and Password

It is recommended to add it to /etc/davfs2/secrets

4. Add mount information to /etc/fstab

 https://brick.novos.be/remote.php/dav/files/Account/ /root/novos
davfs user,rw,auto 0 0

5. Use

Add to

 mount ~/novos

uninstall

 umount ~/novos
