Setting up a Samba server

2018-12-15T17:00:22Z

Sunyanzi: remove `samba-common-tools` from Installation because package `samba` including `samba-common-tools`

= Installation =
Install packages:
{{Cmd|# apk add samba}}

= Create a share directory =
This will be the directory that's shared to clients. You can create as many of these as you wish.
{{Cmd|# mkdir /media/storage}}
{{Cmd|# chmod 0777 /media/storage}}

= Create smb.conf =
Alpine provides an example configuration file located at /etc/samba/smb.conf. The following is a simple example to get you up and running.
{{cat|/etc/samba/smb.conf|# /etc/samba/smb.conf
<nowiki>
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
dos charset = cp850
unix charset = ISO-8859-1
force user = username

[storage]
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
path = /media/storage
</nowiki>
}}
{{note|For each directory share, you'll need to add a subsection to '''smb.conf'''}}

= Create a system user and Samba user =
Create a user on the system. Create a Samba user. Give both users the same password.
{{Cmd|# adduser username}}
{{Cmd|# smbpasswd -a username}}

= Configure the Samba service =
Run these two commands to start the service on boot and to start the service right now.
{{Cmd|# rc-update add samba}}
{{Cmd|# rc-service samba start}}

VirtualBox shared folders

Sunyanzi:

== Enable VirtualBox shared folders ==

Install [https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86/virtualbox-guest-additions virtualbox-guest-additions] and [https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86/virtualbox-guest-modules-virthardened virtualbox-guest-modules-virthardened] at first:

{{Cmd|apk add virtualbox-guest-additions virtualbox-guest-modules-virthardened}}

The following error may occur:

{{Cmd|ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
virtualbox-guest-additions (missing):
required by: world[virtualbox-guest-additions]
virtualbox-guest-modules-virthardened (missing):
required by: world[virtualbox-guest-modules-virthardened]}}

If the error occurs, make sure your alpine version is greater than v3.6 and alpine community repo is enabled:

{{Cmd|echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories}}

Update respository indexes from all remote repositories, then install guest modules and reboot:

{{Cmd|apk update
apk add virtualbox-guest-additions virtualbox-guest-modules-virthardened
reboot}}

Goto <code>Device > Shared Folders > Shared Folder Settings ...</code> add a directory mapping like this:

[[File:Add_Share.png|437px]]

Mount it to alpine:

{{Cmd|mkdir /mnt/outside
mount -t vboxsf vbox_shared /mnt/outside}}

which <code>vbox_shared</code> is your folder name and <code>/mnt/outside</code> is the mounting point.

After this step the following error may occur:

{{Cmd|mount: mounting vbox_shared on /mnt/outside failed: No such device}}

If the error occurs, run command below:

{{Cmd|modprobe -a vboxsf
mount -t vboxsf vbox_shared /mnt/outside}}

And you will see <code>/tmp/vbox_shared</code> and <code>/mnt/outside</code> are connected.

''P.S. Alpine will raise error "Invalid argument" if <code>virtualbox-guest-additions</code> is not installed when mounting drive.''

''VirtualBox will raise error "Guest Additions unavailable" if <code>virtualbox-guest-modules-virthardened</code> is not installed when adding shared path.''
