nickadam/smb-share repository overview

⁠nickadam/smb-share

Simple container to host an smb share with one user account

Github repo⁠

⁠Examples

This will start an smb share, \data, on the host to a random docker volume. The username is admin and the randomly generated password is on the first line of the logs.

docker pull nickadam/smb-share
docker run -d --name myshare -p 445:445 -p 139:139 nickadam/smb-share
docker logs myshare

In this example we specify the username, password, and mount a local volume using the current users UID and GID.

docker run -d --name myshare \
  -p 445:445 -p 139:139 \
  -v "$PWD":/data \
  -e SMB_USER="$USERNAME" \
  -e PASSWORD="badpassword" \
  -e SMB_UID=$UID \
  -e SMB_GID=$GID \
  nickadam/smb-share

⁠Data directory

Persistent data shared from /data

If the data directory is empty, it will be chowned with the UID and GID of the SMB user.

⁠Ports

Expose ports 445 and 139

⁠Environment variables

⁠Accessing the share from windows

To prevent windows from attempting to access the share with the local user or guest it's a good idea to use the net command to specify the user and password.

Prompt for password:

net use /user:admin "\\server.example.com\data"

Specify password:

net use /user:admin "\\server.example.com\data" badpassword
