SAMBA in Container

OptimisticShaggy · 03-07-2021, 06:56 PM

I am fairly new when it comes to Linux. Not exactly Beginner but wouldn't classify myself as useful yet. I have a container that I set up from Turnkey Linux (I have posted there as well) for SAMBA and I seem to run into some issues even with checking everything I can from Webmin where a user is not able to access files at all, not even their home share. Actually recently switched around to where their not able to login to the through Samba and all the logs for SAMBA show nothing except me bringing up and down Samba. Any ideas on where I could look at or trying?

Increase the Samba log level.

yes, in general you need to check the log files about related info. From the other hand would be nice to explain better your problem, otherwise we cannot help you. Your post contains no usable information (to work with).

After increasing the log level, I managed to get some of these messages:

The IP Address 223 is the container itself, is this normal?

for me it looks like misconfiguration.
How is your samba configured?

Hello,
Samba domain controller shouldn't be used as a file server, so I'm assuming it's not a domain controller you deployed. However,
I read that unpriviledge containers (LXC) don't work as Samba servers because you would lack privileges to perform some operations (eg. Setting ACLs with smbcacls).
Please post the lines of /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
