jonasped/wsdd repository overview

⁠wsdd-docker

Docker image for wsdd.py.

wsdd implements a Web Service Discovery host daemon. This enables (Samba) hosts, like your local NAS device or Linux server, to be found by Web Service Discovery Clients like Windows.

⁠Supported environment variables

HOSTNAME: Samba Netbios name to report.

WORKGROUP: Workgroup name

DOMAIN: Report being a member of an AD DOMAIN. Disables WORKGROUP if set.

⁠Running container

⁠From command line

docker run --net=host -e HOSTNAME=$(hostname) jonasped/wsdd

It is important that the container is run with the argument --net=host and that the environment variabel HOSTNAME is set to the same value as your Samba netbios name. Samba netbios name defaults to the hostname.

⁠From docker compose

A docker-compose.yml file could look like the one below.

        wsdd:
                image: "jonasped/wsdd"
                environment:
                        - HOSTNAME=NETBIOS_NAME
                restart: unless-stopped
                network_mode: "host"
