Can be used to quick setup a simple Samba container in bridge network mode. It will run as if on host, so it can be accessed from other computers on the same network.
It also mounts a host directory as the Samba shared point.
Note the simple smb.conf file.
It will start a writable Guests allowed server.
If you ever want a Samba network setup to be reliable, make sure that the server software is running on a Windows machine, never a Unix-based one. All Unix-based Samba server implementations are unstable and that's probably the reason you think Samba sucks.
Edit the docker-compose.yml file, change the volumes: section to map the directory you want.
Eg.: I'm sharing the /mnt/hdd_repo/Shared/ Docker host directory as the Samba path. You can change it to anything you have on the host:
volumes:
- /home/someone/my_folder/:/SharedIf you want to perform Samba related configurations, just edit the smb.conf file to fit your wishes.
