Hi, I’ve tried running samba from docker compose on ubuntu server with this resource https://hub.docker.com/r/dockurr/samba I changed the default volume from “- ./samba:/storage” to “- /mnt/my_ext_hdd/my_dir/my_subdir” The container deploys fine, but I get permission error when trying to access the shared volume from windows? Anyone with some suggestionshoew to fix? Thanks

    Have you done the steps under “How do I modify the default credentials?” and “How do I modify the permissions?” from the readme?

      I did fiddle with it. I tried putting my server user and password in there, but didn’t get it working.

        What did you set UID and GID to and what is the output of “ls -an” when run inside of the shared directory? You can remove the file names for privacy. I just tested the docker container and it seems to work between my Linux laptop and my windows 11 desktop using this docker compose:

        services:
  samba:
    image: dockurr/samba
    container_name: samba
    environment:
      NAME: "Data"
      USER: "samba"
      PASS: "secret"
      UID: "1000"
      GID: "1000"
    ports:
      - 445:445
    volumes:
      - ./samba:/storage
    restart: always

        The files in my shared folder are owned by UID/GID 1000/1000 which is why I put those as my UID/GID, and when I logged in from Windows I entered samba and secret as the password and I was able to access and modify the files in the shared folder.
