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!

    Just make sure you don’t have any local SMB server running on the host. 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.

        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.

        That fruit argument is so that samba plays nicely with Apple’s SMB client implementation.
