Have any of you have been successfully in creating a Samba share on Fedora Silverblue?
Have any of you have been successfully in creating a Samba share on Fedora Silverblue?
I've been trying for days and have been impossible.
All I get is not enough permission to access share from client
`testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
Weak crypto is allowed by GnuTLS (e.g. NTLM as a compatibility fallback)
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

Have you created the samba password for your user?
Try
sudo smbpasswd -a username
same error
What's the exact error that you get?
I've never been able to get the "Sharing" thing working in Gnome. I think that's a Samba share.
I don't know if these notes would help, but I believe you should be able to make this work in podman, rather than trying to muck about with the primary system files.

It's about using wireguard, but I would imagine most of the concepts should be the same.
FWIW....
My 2 cents. I tried and tried to make samba work. Finally, I saw a post from someone that said, "samba is for windows, SSH is for Linux". Best post I ever read. SSH for me ever since.
The first thing I do after install is uninstall samba.
Happy days ever since.
I've never tried to set up Samba, so I think this is probably good advice
I gave up, ended up using SSH
This is the most convoluted use of basic services I've ever seen just to make Samba work 😂😂😂
Y'know, there's a MUCH simpler way to make this work by just using a regular distribution without these limitations.
What you call a limitation is a way to ensure uptime. Yes, it sometimes involves unique ways of solving problems, but that doesn't mean going with a traditional mutable system is the best option for people's needs.
I have Bazzite on a shared laptop, and knowing that the people who will use it won't have to worry about fucking up the system with a bad update is great peace of mind.
