I use a .dev and it just works with letsencrypt. I don’t do anything special with wildcards, I just let traefik request a cert for every subdomain I use and it works. I use the tls challenge which works on port 443, so I don’t think HSTS or port 80 matters, but I still forwarded port 80 it so I can serve an http->https redirect since stuff like curl and probably other tools might not know about HSTS.

Gotcha thanks for the info! It looks like I would be fine with ocis or opencloud, but since my main use case and pain points are with document editing which is collabora, it probably wouldn’t change much besides simplifying the docker setup (I had to make a gross pile of nginx config stuff pieced together from many forum help posts to get the nextcloud fpm container to work smoothly). But it already works so unless it breaks there’s little incentive for me to change.

So then replace the word restaurant with pub then, doesn’t change the message.

Ah I see, I guess at least that would help with the main UI, but I’m already using collabora through the collabora code server in next cloud so it sounds like I’ll probably have the same document editing experience with OCIS/opencloud. I used to use onlyoffice but after I tried out their mobile app, it started blocking me from editing documents using the next cloud app (which seemed to use the only office web UI) so I was forced to switch unless I started paying for onlyoffice.

What are the apps that you would miss? I basically only use my NC as a Google drive and docs replacement, so all it has to do is store docx files and let me edit them on desktop or mobile without being glitchy and I’ve really wanted to consider OCIS or similar.

That second requirement for me seems hard because of how complex office suites are, but NC is driving me to my wit’s end with how slow and error prone it is, and how glitchy the NC office UI is (like glitches when selecting text or randomly scrolling you to the beginning).

As long as your thermistor or heater block doesn’t fall out you should be fine. But if you want to be safe, just set it to 200 and then turn it off before you unscrew it so that it won’t thermal runaway if it comes apart while working on it.

In case you haven’t realized, the user and pass in the docker compose are for setting the user/pass that you will enter on windows to access the share. It doesn’t have to be the same as the Linux server user account - though mine is the same because it’s easier to remember.

This very community seems to be the largest by far - around 45k followers if I’m seeing it correctly. It feels a lot more active than the average Lemmy community as well.

Hmm, well it doesn’t seem to be any problem with the docker compose then as best as I can tell. I picked a random ext4 flash drive and replicated your setup with the UID and GID set and it seems to work fine:

# /etc/fstab

# ~/samba/docker-compose.yml
services:
  samba:
    image: dockurr/samba
    container_name: samba
    environment:

      USER: "user"
      PASS: "pass"
      UID: "1000"
      GID: "1000"
    ports:
      - 445:445
    volumes:
      - /home/<me>/mount:/storage
    restart: always

I was able to play the PXL.mp4 video from my desktop and write back the test.txt file

Have you checked the logs with docker logs -f samba to see if there’s anything there?

Also you could try to access the HD from within the container, using docker exec -it samba bash and then cd into /storage and see what happens.

I would suggest adding “UID” and “GID” environment variables to the container, and set them to the numeric values for user and group numbers that show in place of your name when you use “ls -an” inside of the “mount” folder (they will probably be the same number).

For example, if inside your mount folder you see:

ls -an
total 12
drwx------ 2 1001 1001 4096 Mar 27 13:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 1000 1000 4096 Mar 27 13:51 ..
-rwx------ 1 1001 1001    0 Mar 27 13:54 hello.txt
-rwx------ 1 1001 1001    4 Mar 27 13:54 test.txt

Then set UID: 1001 and GID: 1001

I get the same error as you when I copy your docker-compose and try to access a folder owned by my user. When I add the UID and GID of my user id to the docker-compose (1001 for me), the error goes away.

What did you set UID and GID to and what is the output of “ls -an” when run inside of the shared directory? You can remove the file names for privacy. I just tested the docker container and it seems to work between my Linux laptop and my windows 11 desktop using this docker compose:

services:
  samba:
    image: dockurr/samba
    container_name: samba
    environment:
      NAME: "Data"
      USER: "samba"
      PASS: "secret"
      UID: "1000"
      GID: "1000"
    ports:
      - 445:445
    volumes:
      - ./samba:/storage
    restart: always

The files in my shared folder are owned by UID/GID 1000/1000 which is why I put those as my UID/GID, and when I logged in from Windows I entered samba and secret as the password and I was able to access and modify the files in the shared folder.

Have you done the steps under “How do I modify the default credentials?” and “How do I modify the permissions?” from the readme?
