If you want to automatically mount USB drives on a server running Debian or Ubuntu (including Raspbian or Ubuntu MATE for Raspberry Pi) you can use a simple, but very effective tool called USBmount. USBmount is a set of scripts used to automatically mount USB mass storage devices when they are plugged in. While it’s not created to only run on servers, USBmount is especially useful on a server because it doesn’t have a graphical user interface, and it doesn’t depend on any desktop environment.
