Mounting Calypso NAS on Concord NUC
This guide covers mounting the Calypso NAS media share on the NUC for Plex access.
Prerequisites
-
Verify Tailscale connectivity:
ping 100.103.48.78 # Calypso's Tailscale IP -
Install CIFS utilities:
sudo apt install cifs-utils -y
Setup
1. Create Mount Point
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nas
2. Create Credentials File (Secure)
sudo nano /root/.smbcredentials
Add:
username=Vish
password=REDACTED_PASSWORD
Secure the file:
sudo chmod 600 /root/.smbcredentials
3. Add to /etc/fstab (Persistent Mount)
sudo nano /etc/fstab
Add this line:
//100.103.48.78/data/media /mnt/nas cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,vers=3.0,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,_netdev,x-systemd.automount 0 0
4. Mount
sudo mount -a
5. Verify
ls -la /mnt/nas
# Should show: movies, tv, music, etc.
Troubleshooting
Mount fails on boot
The _netdev and x-systemd.automount options ensure the mount waits for network.
If issues persist, check that Tailscale starts before mount:
sudo systemctl status tailscaled
Permission issues
Ensure uid=1000,gid=1000 matches the user running Plex/Docker.
Slow performance
See Network Performance Tuning for SMB optimization.
Performance Notes
- SMB over Tailscale: ~139 MB/s (1.1 Gbps) - sufficient for 4K streaming
- Direct LAN access: Best for 4K remux playback
- NFS alternative: Not recommended over Tailscale (slower than SMB in testing)
