Samba docker container

What is Samba?

Since 1992, Samba has provided secure, stable and fast file and print services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol, such as all versions of DOS and Windows, OS/2, Linux and many others.

How to use this image

By default there are no shares configured, additional ones can be added.

Hosting a Samba instance

sudo docker run -p 139:139 -p 445:445 -d dperson/samba

OR set local storage:

sudo docker run --name samba -p 139:139 -p 445:445 \
            -v /path/to/directory:/mount \
            -d dperson/samba

Configuration

sudo docker run -it --rm dperson/samba -h
Usage: samba.sh [-opt] [command]
Options (fields in '[]' are optional, '<>' are required):
    -h          This help
    -i "<path>" Import smbpassword
                required arg: "<path>" - full file path in container to import
    -s "<name;/path>[;browse;readonly;guest;users]" Configure a share
                required arg: "<name>;<comment>;</path>"
                <name> is how it's called for clients
                <path> path to share
                NOTE: for the default values, just leave blank
                [browseable] default:'yes' or 'no'
                [readonly] default:'yes' or 'no'
                [guest] allowed default:'yes' or 'no'
                [users] allowed default:'all' or list of allowed users
    -t ""       Configure timezone
                possible arg: "[timezone]" - zoneinfo timezone for container
    -u "<username;password>"       Add a user
                required arg: "<username>;<passwd>"
                <username> for user
                <password> for user

The 'command' (if provided and valid) will be run instead of samba

ENVIROMENT VARIABLES (only available with docker run)

  • TZ - As above, set a zoneinfo timezone, IE EST5EDT

Examples

Any of the commands can be run at creation with docker run or later with docker exec samba.sh (as of version 1.3 of docker).

Setting the Timezone

sudo docker run -p 139:139 -p 445:445 -d dperson/samba -t EST5EDT

OR using environment variables

sudo docker run -e TZ=EST5EDT -p 139:139 -p 445:445 -d dperson/samba

Will get you the same settings as

sudo docker run --name samba -p 139:139 -p 445:445 -d dperson/samba
sudo docker exec samba samba.sh -t EST5EDT ls -AlF /etc/localtime
sudo docker restart samba

Start an instance creating users and shares:

sudo docker run -p 139:139 -p 445:445 -d dperson/samba \
            -u "example1;badpass" \
            -u "example2;badpass" \
            -s "public;/share" \
            -s "users;/srv;no;no;no;example1,example2" \
            -s "example1 private;/example1;no;no;no;example1" \
            -s "example2 private;/example2;no;no;no;example2"
