Is there a way to setup an SMB share or similar via docker? I want to be able to easily turn it off and bind it to a specific folder, and I am comfortable with docker.
Thanks!

And if you need multiple different shares, these all need to go into the same container or you need to define different ports if you use multiple containers.
Those are quite the environment variable names there.
Yes, it’s explained in the documentation.
E.g.:
SAMBA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_bind_SPACE_interfaces_SPACE_only: yesmaps to:
[global] bind interfaces only = yesThis way you don’t need to provide any extra configuration file.
I’m well aware of how inline environment variables work, but that is one helldammer of a name for one, and I rarely see anyone use actual spaces in .env file variable, let alone translate a space to
SPACEin a variable name.
Awesome thank you!
Fruit? Really?
That
fruitargument is so that samba plays nicely with Apple’s SMB client implementation.
I use dperson/samba, which is both simple and comes with usage examples.
The last commit was 5 years ago. There are very high chamces the container image is full of vulnerabilities. You might wanna rebuild it yourself.
Excellent point, thank you!
There’s dockurr/samba which is also pretty easy to setup, but doesn’t allow much deviation from the defaults.
