[Feature Request] Automount Network Drives #41

@ayykamp

Description

@ayykamp

I was looking for a GUI tool to automount network drives (over SMB, SFTP, etc..) but there there doesn't seem to be one for the modern linux desktop. Most guides suggest fiddling with the fstab which is pretty intimidating for newer users.
I think this would be a good fit for Ignition.

The implementation should be pretty straightforward too since this can easily be done with systemd units

Example

network.automount

[Unit]
Description=Automount networkshare

[Automount]
Where=/home/user/networkshare

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

network.mount

[Unit]
Description=Mount networkshare
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Mount]
What=//192.168.178.1/drive
Where=/home/user/networshare
Type=cifs
Options=credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials,vers=2.1,noserverino,uid=1000,gid=1000

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
