No problem!

I hacked this together instead of going to sleep, so it might make your deck explode, but maybe it’s a starting point for you or someone else:

# home-deck-mounts.mount
#
# Mount units must be named after the destination path, this / replaced by -, like above
#
# This is a template unit.
# That's explained here: https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-template-unit-files/
# TL;DR: run it like this `netmount@linuxisos.mount` if you want to mount the subdirectory "linuxisos" from SHARE_PATH
[Unit]
Description=NetMount %I
After=graphical.target
# This is commented out, because it is implicit for network mounts https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.mount.html#Default%20Dependencies
# I keep it here as an example
#After=network-online.target
#Requires=network-online.target

[Mount]
# %i expands to what ever you put after the @ when starting/activating the service
What=10.10.10.99:/mnt/user/%i
Where=/home/deck/mounts/%i
Type=nfs
Options=exec

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

I couldn’t confirm if mount units are allowed to be template units, but if not, just duplicate the service for each path and replace %i.

Say the word if you run into issues!
