Configuration

Before using this image you have to create the YAML configuration file /data/config.yml to be able to create users, provide global options and add shares. Here is an example:

auth:
  - user: foo
    group: foo
    uid: 1000
    gid: 1000
    password: bar
  - user: baz
    group: xxx
    uid: 1100
    gid: 1200
    password_file: /run/secrets/baz_password

global:
  - "force user = foo"
  - "force group = foo"

share:
  - name: foo
    path: /samba/foo
    browsable: yes
    readonly: no
    guestok: no
    validusers: foo
    writelist: foo
    veto: no

veto: no is a list of predefined files and directories that will not be visible or accessible:

/._*/.apdisk/.AppleDouble/.DS_Store/.TemporaryItems/.Trashes/desktop.ini/ehthumbs.db/Network Trash Folder/Temporary Items/Thumbs.db/
