How do I automount sshfs? (sh.itjust.works)

I have SSHFS on my server and would like to have it automatically mounted and store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers. I am able to get it to all work except for mounting on startup. The server is Debian 12 and both clients are Tumbleweed. Nothing in fstab seems to work. When I add x-systemd.automount, well, at best programs that try to use it crash and at worst I have to go through recovery mode to get the system to boot properly. I am using ed25519 keys with no passwords for authentication. Does anyone know how I could get this to work?

Why use SSHFS for that? I recommend using Syncthing, it's great for synchronizing stuff across multiple PCs (local and remote).

So that you don't have copies of files everywhere.

What do you mean "everywhere"?

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

everywhere you want to use the files.

I don't really know what that is. I could try it though.

Edit: I don't really like having the files on all computers, I would rather just have them all in a central place where everything can access them.
