Samba

This article explains how to set up a Samba file server as an Active Directory domain member in a Docker container. This newer configuration differs from my earlier setup in one essential point: it uses POSIX instead of Windows ACLs, simplifying the administration and making it possible to modify files via other protocols than SMB. This post is part of my series on home automation, networking & self-hosting that shows how to install, configure, and run a home server with dockerized or virtualized services.

This article explains how to set up Filestash in a Docker container as a web interface for browser-based access to a Samba or SMB file server. Please note that in my own use this configuration has been superseded by Sambee, my very own browser-based file viewer and manager. Sambee has a more polished and user-friendly UI, is optimized for desktop and mobile, displays Markdown not as code but rendered, has powerful search and navigation capabilities, keyboard shortcuts, and much more.

This article explains how to set up Filebrowser in a Docker container as a web interface for browser-based access to a Samba file server. Please note that in my own use this configuration has been superseded by Sambee, my very own browser-based file viewer and manager. Sambee is much more secure and flexible in that it accesses the file system via SMB as the actual authenticated user. This makes it possible to access multiple shares on different file servers with Sambee, adhere to the share and file system permissions configured for each user account, and audit changes properly.
