Dockerized Samba server to manage shared folders between Host-VMs and VMs-VMs

Rename .env.example to .env, change it according to your preferences, then start the container with docker-compose up -d. It will automatically start at boot since restart: unless-stopped is the default.

To make the permission work, add a new group on your host system with the 101 GID, then add yourself ot it, as below.

$sudo groupadd -g 101 smb
$sudo gpasswd -a $USER smb

Now you can change the owner and permissions of the shared folders on the host system.

$sudo chown 100:101 /pathname/to/shared_foleder
$sudo chmod -R 775 /pathname/to/shared_foleder
