⁠Samba

Simple, lightweight and secure Samba docker container based on Alpine Linux.

⁠What is Samba ?

Samba is a re-implementation of the SMB networking protocol. It facilitates file and printer sharing among Linux and Windows systems as an alternative to NFS.

⁠Goal of this container

I am trying really hard to make a drop-in container, as simple as possible to setup.
Only one shared folder with all permissions to anybody on the local network: perfect for family use.

⁠Features

• Based on Alpine Linux.
• Automatic installation for drop-in use.
• No root processes. As secure as possible.

⁠Build-time variables

• USERNAME: The username used for samba (needs to have read/write rights on the host shared directory)

⁠Ports

I'm not using the standard ports inside the container in order to not run samba as root.
But it shouldn't be a issue since you can bind them to the usual ones at run (see setup example).

• 7137
• 7138
• 7139
• 7445

⁠Volumes

• /shared: Shared folder.

⁠Setup

Example command to build this image:

docker build -t samba .

Example command to run this container:

docker run --init -d -p 137-139:7137-7139 -p 445:7445 -v /path/to/share:/shared --name=samba samba
