I had to look that up. So ya, I understand your problem a bit better. Wish I could offer some solutions.
For anyone interested…
“Starlink uses Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) to avoid the need for 1,000s of IPv4 addresses, which can be a problem for some users due to how they are using Starlink. However, some VPN services like PureVPN can be used to bypass CGNAT restrictions on Port Forwarding.1 CGNAT prevents direct access to the Starlink antenna from the internet, making setting up a VPN or hosting services challenging. There is no direct public IP address assigned to the Starlink antenna, which hinders traditional methods of setting up a VPN server or hosting services like port forwarding and DMZ access”
I will first admit that I am quite ignorant to Home Assistant.
I am a happy openHAB user for 5+ years. Have you considered switching to see if you like it?
I tried Home Assistant once or twice but never felt comfortable enough to switch.
I run stuff locally and can connect over VPN to my home and operate as if I am inside the home. I have not looked into these other cloudflare tunnels or tail scale as I don’t think it would provide any advantage to my current setup.
OpenVPN server running on my router does the trick.
You’re welcome.
I’ve not thought about nor worried about wear and tear. I did a search but didn’t find anything. Are you just being cautious? Or perhaps you only access files occasionally?
Either way, you may want to creat a bash alias in your .bashrc file so that you can type a simple command like mountnas or ‘nas’ and you might have another to run the umount command to unmount it.
Since my NAS runs my camera recordings and backups and some containers, I figure wear from mounting conveniently shouldn’t be an issue…
Cheers!
install the NFS client package.
Have a look at adding a line to the
/etc/fstab file. Then reboot to take effect.

Same… a bit of screen scrolling to get what I need but did the trick in a pinch!
