Samba Docker volume sharing plugin

Sharing a Docker container's volume should be as simple as docker run svendowideit/samba <container>.

This 'plugin' will create and configure a samba server container that auto-creates shares for all the volumes attached to the specified container.

docker run svendowideit/samba reminds the user what the options are, and the minimal set of docker parameters - like -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock that are needed

Usage

$ docker run svendowideit/samba

please run with
   docker run --rm -v $(which docker):/docker -v /var/run/docker.sock:/docker.sock svendowideit/samba <container_name>

How it works

The svendowideit/samba container uses the bind-mounted docker client and socket to introspect the configuration of the specified container, and then uses that information to setup a new container that is -volumes-from setup to give it access.
