SMB + Docker (self.selfhosted)

submitted 3 weeks ago by Dust0741 to c/selfhosted

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!

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: yes

maps to:

[global]
bind interfaces only = yes

This 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 SPACE in a variable name.

These variable names are dynamically parsed and used for generating the smb.conf.

And if you need a way to support underscores AND spaces (which are not allowed in a variable name), you have to get creative.

I like the solution as it allows me to encode any possible configuration value (even the most obscure one) in the compose file.
