I did the same. Not because I knew, but because I was unsure if permissions would fail if I didn’t.

I’m CURSED I tells ya! I’ll look at the logs tomorrow. Good to know that you can get it working. Maybe I’m close then.

Do I need to enter the container bash and change something then? I tried adding UID and GID to the docker compose file, but it still fails. I updated the google docs notes if you want to see my steps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried and it still doesn’t work. I updated the google docs notes with my steps if you want to see what I did.

How do I tell? In the docker-compose.yml file I put the user and password for my server user. I thought that was going to make it work?

I did fiddle with it. I tried putting my server user and password in there, but didn’t get it working.

Well, I’m not trying to share from within the docker container. I just want to run the samba service from a container. The share is an external hard drive connected to the server. I want to be able to move files to and from the ext hdd from a windows machine.

I would prefer that it’s only accessible for users I approve through some sort of whitelist. That would be friends and family.
