docker-samba

What is this?

This is Samba server in Docker. The image is designed for flexbility and maintainability. You are expected to supply your own smb.conf and user/group configs. You also need to maintain the proper permissions for shared folders, which usually only need to be done correctly once at the beginning.

TL;DR: if you are familiar with Samba configuration, this image is for you.

Usage

Volumes

/samba/smb.conf: the Samba configuration file that the container uses.
/samba/[share]: please map your Samba share folders to /samba/ in the container.

Environment Variables

GROUPS: group configurations. Format: [group name],[group id]. Connect multiple group configs with ;.
USERS: user configurations. Format: [username],[user id],[samba password],[additional group names*]. *: this option is optional and you can specify multiple groups using , as separator.
SMBD_ARGS: additional parameters for smbd. E.g. -d 2 which enables debug output.

docker-compose

Please see the example folder.

Updating

docker-compose pull && docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d

Troubleshooting

It's always helpful to add -d 2 to SMBD_ARGS for samba debug output.

Q: I can't access mounted config file or directories?

Are you running SELinux? If so you need to set the correct tag on mounted volumes chcon -t svirt_sandbox_file_t [your file/folder]
