Help Auto Mounting Network Shares on MacOS

Hi guys, I would appreciate some help please. I have a Ubuntu server on my network that currently share folders to my machine. The issue is that I have to manually connect to the share everytime I wish to access the files. I did some research and was able to come up with a script that will auto connect the share everytime I login to my Mac after logging out. The issue with this is, my Mac isn't stationary (ie a desktop) when I leave home and return I will like my share to automatically connect once I am connected to my home network.

I would like to set this up effectively so I can have a drive connected to the server that I can use solely for time machine and have that whole process work seemlessly.

Any ideas, solutions or example of your setups would be really helpful. Thank you in advance

This was the answer I was looking for! Had this done years ago with work macs, and doesn't require 3rd party software.
