Container images for Samba services.
In the default configuration, the server container image exports one share, named "share", which is expected to be a volume provided by the host. A default user, named "sambauser" is predefined with a password of "samba".
The entrypoint for the server is the samba-container script. This tool is
designed to help automate the management of samba tools & services in a
container environment. This script is part of the
sambacc project.
The behavior of this tool can customized via a JSON based configuration file.
The project also provides a simple samba client container image that can be useful for testing.
make build
podman run --name samba --publish 10445:445 --volume=/path/on/host/to/share:/share:Z --rm quay.io/samba.org/samba-server:latest
The port mapping (--publish) is only needed when running as non-root, e.g. for
testing purposes.
The behavior of the container can be changed by invoking it with specific
arguments for the samba-container script and/or setting environment
variables.
You can include a custom configuration via the following method:
$EDITOR /path/to/config/config.json
podman run --name samba --publish 10445:445 --volume=/path/on/host/to/share:/share:Z --volume=/path/to/config:/etc/samba-container -e SAMBACC_CONFIG=/etc/samba-container/config.json -e SAMBA_CONTAINER_ID=myid --rm quay.io/samba.org/samba-server:latest
The configuration may be used to define custom users or different share configurations.
