So I am looking into using service accounts to allow services to access network resources. My own use case is going to be Jellyfin but if this works I might try to use this for other services.

I have not set anything up as of yet but I am going to create a domain controller and then join Linux servers to it. On the Linux servers I am going to run podman under the service account. I am still working on how to store the password but my plan is to login to the service account via Pam and then to use pam mount to mount a network resource.

I’ll create another post once I set this up.
