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

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.
I run thousands of servers and have never had a "bad update" take a node down. Not since the 00's at least.
Lucky you? I can't say the same.
Regardless, OP didn't ask if they should just switch, they asked how to solve their problem. They can decide for themselves if they want to try to use containers or just install traditional Fedora.
Gave them an answer as well.
