1 Install davfs2
Install davfs2 package.
$ cat <<EOF | sudo debconf-set-selectionsdavfs2 davfs2/suid_file boolean falseEOF$ sudo apt install -y davfs2
2 Mount WebDAV with davfs2
Mount WebDAV with davfs2 to /mnt directory. Input username and password, and respond to caution of SSL certification.
$ WEBDAV_SERVER_URL=https://webdav-server.hiroom2.com/webdav$ sudo mount -t davfs ${WEBDAV_SERVER_URL} /mnt<snip> Username: ${WEBDAV_USERNAME}<snip> Password: ${WEBDAV_PASSWORD}<snip>Accept certificate for this session? [y,N] y
3 Omit username and password
Writing username and password to /etc/davfs2/secrets will omit inputing username and password.
/etc/davfs2/secrets is the following format.
<URL> <username> <password>
Add URL, username and password to /etc/davfs2/secrets and change permission to 600.
$ echo “${WEBDAV_SERVER_URL} ${WEBDAV_USERNAME} ${WEBDAV_PASSWORD}” | sudo tee -a /etc/davfs2/secrets$ sudo chmod 600 /etc/davfs2/secrets
4 Accept SSL certification
Accepting SSL certification will omit response to caution of SSL certification.
Get SSL certification of WebDAV server with openssl command and put it to /etc/davfs2/certs.
$ WEBDAV_SERVER_FQDN=webdav-server.hiroom2.com$ openssl s_client -showcerts -connect ${WEBDAV_SERVER_FQDN}:443 < /dev/null 2> /dev/null | openssl x509 -outform PEM | sudo tee /etc/davfs2/certs/${WEBDAV_SERVER_FQDN}.pem
Add trust_server_cert in /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf.
$ echo “trust_server_cert ${WEBDAV_SERVER_FQDN}” | sudo tee -a /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf
5 Mount WebDAV on boot
Add mount entry to /etc/fstab. For avoiding mounting WebDAV before network initialization, you need to add _netdev option. For making x-systemd.automount to mount WebDAV, you need to add x-systemd.automount to option.
$ echo “${WEBDAV_SERVER_URL} /mnt davfs _netdev,x-systemd.automount 0 0” | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
