Role Description

The mount_nas_depending_on_ip_range is an Ansible role designed to simplify the setup of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) mount script as a Systemd service triggered by network changes, with configuration depending on IP address ranges. This role automates the configuration of the NAS mount script, Systemd service, and NetworkManager dispatcher script, allowing you to mount NAS shares based on specific IP address ranges, enhancing security and flexibility.

Features

• Uploads the NAS mount script to the specified path on the local machine.
• Creates a Systemd service file for the script, ensuring proper execution and management.
• Generates a NetworkManager dispatcher script to trigger the service when network changes occur, depending on the local IP address.
• Provides flexibility to configure various parameters, such as NAS IP, share name, mount point, mount type, and IP address ranges.
