logicer16/wsdd-docker 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.

⁠Environment variables

HOSTNAME: Samba Netbios name to report. This must be specified either through this environment variable or otherwise passed as an argument to the container.

WORKGROUP: Workgroup name

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

You can additionally pass wsdd arguments in the environment variable WSDD_ARGS or via the docker cli or compose file as regular arguments.

⁠Running container

⁠From command line

docker run --net=host -e HOSTNAME=$(hostname) logicer16/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: "logicer16/wsdd"
                environment:
                        - HOSTNAME=NETBIOS_NAME
                restart: unless-stopped
                network_mode: "host"
