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?

You can add it to your fstab, then it will be mounted on boot. I think Archwiki has some guidance on this, however the autofs solutions sounds better since, if you directly mount the sshfs via fstab, then if you boot the device without a connection to that sshfs, it will hang during boot for a while as it tries to connect.
