it is possible to mount sshfs from fstab, so it will automatically mount on boot. this is quite useful obviously, and i personally use it to mount my nas with my music and media on.
firstly, you must make the fuse kernel module actually available from the start, and this can be done by appending 'fuse' into /etc/modules, at least on my alpine install.
then you will need to have a no password ssh key setup, which im not going to explain here but isnt hard. whole point is to not want to enter stuff to have it mount, we will inherently have to use this mildly insecure measure, at least while keeping it simple.
the format inside /etc/fstab is roughly as follows, split up with newlines for sake of readability.
tr -d '0 <<'EOF'
[USER]@[ADDRESS]:[SRC PATH]
[MOUNT PATH]
fuse.sshfs
_netdev,follow_symlinks,idmap=user,identityfile=[KEYFILE],
allow_other,default_permissions,uid={id -u},gid={id -g}
0 0
EOF
_netdev: makes it a network mount follow_symlinks: resolve symlinks while mounting, looks like a regular file idmap: map the uid/gid to our ids identityfile: the key to send to the server allow_other: allow all users to access, ie our non-root user default_permissions: make sshfs use default permissions uid: set desired uid gid: set desired gid
