Your video helped me tremendously in understanding how proxmox deals with samba shares so thanks so much! I hope your fight against the big C goes well brother. If I can beat it, so can you my man.

[g.s.]

why you did not install/enable the samba service on the debian container you just installed? if you use such a machine for just samba it would be a waste to use docker, or I am missing something?

YESSS. Thank you! This is a super future proof tutorial. I like these.
If I visit this one and follow instructions today or in 10 years. This will stay relevant and a very optimized solution for NAS setups in a VM on Proxmox or in any other docker setup if you prefer.

I've been playing with alpine for a cluster built out of old nucs. Alpine does a good job of keeping out of the way. I also setup samba and NFS, but on the host since ZFS will manage both for me.

I'm actually glad your doing this playlist as I have a Zimablade pre-ordered! I got the maxed out one with the drive cage and cords.

Hi Don, I am using a Windows PC, but when I get to the part about connecting to the smb shared disk from Windows, it is not connecting to see the created disk, though I can increase the disk size from the deb-nas. Please give any help or clarity on how to connect from Windows.

Thank you so much bro. You have such a way to explain. Im learning so much fro your videos.

[danyelectronics]

Hi Don, Very nicely you explained all the steps here.
Please make a video - how to install HomeAssistant and Mosquitto in Proxmox, how to add the HACS package and how to share the config files in samba :). I think you will be successful with a full video on this.

Proxmox could be the best of them all if it had builtin SMB/NFS sharing, UPS shutdown, SNMP, one click/file config backup and restore and acreens for other basic configs.

Basically, all the festures of Truenas Scale.

[MarkConstable]

Damn, I was all in on this until you got to docker. I was looking forward to seeing how you would be configuring Samba directly in the CT itself.

[TearTox]

What was the point in adding your user into "docker" group if you still use sudo? ps. You need to log out and back in to get the group working

[HKTECH-]

You have been making great videos so far! I have just one request: if you could start including written instructions of some sort, it would really help. Thanks!

[extemos]

Why is my drive not discoverable it seems it's running but I can't access it from windows or mac what did I do wrong?

[voodoovinny]

Did you setup virtual network for vms to attach directly to your samba server for faster access on local vm to server communication? That would be a good video.
I stumbled across this again and I noticed that you created a container just to host a docker just so you can host a samba server. Couldn't you have just created a samba server in the container instead of setting up docker and a samba server in the docker?

[SimonePGGG]

Can you import existing zpools ?
What did you use as main disk for OS?

[pascal-t]

Yo dawg, I heard you like containers, so I put a container in your container to containerize your samba inside of a lxc container.

[Froggie]

have you tried the cockpit on proxmox with --no-install-recommends?
i feel like its a litte easier on resource management wise instead of dealing with the sub system.
45drive's houston has zfs module works with cockpit as well as a smb/nfs ( file-sharing and identities )
i also like their navigator

[thespencerowen]

Great tutorial. This is exactly what I’m doing except I’m using casaos instead of raw docker

[RoyalRobertBurns]

This worked perfectly. I made an additional user and tried to give the user access to the share and I am getting the error "docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/samba" is already in use by container" Can only one user use the share?

[CaptZenPetabyte]

Question please? Would you (a) have 2x USB disks and ZFS pool them, or (b) a DAS box with hardware raid attached via USB connection?
