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

Do I just enter the container shell and check GID and UID of a random file?

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.

There is a writer who has commented on toilet designs and cultures where the Germans like to study and understand the world thus have toilets like this. Where the French are more about getting rid of waste fast and efficiently much like their love for revolution. And the English are more of a diplomatic middle ground. Can’t remember his name and couldn’t find him from a quick search. I’m sure you can.
