samba VS docker-samba

You can get fancy and if you have multiple printers, add folders within the SMBv1 share and the Scans share and change the settings accordingly (this is what I did). You can also add more shares if needed. More info on samba variables to achieve other options here -> https://github.com/dperson/samba

For NAS I'm using a Samba image. You can setup samba on the host machine, but by being in a container I can edit it from Portainer. My little machines don't have RAID or anything, but they do have a 2TB M.2 drive in them. I keep my bigger storage attached to my desktop and I don't expose it to my network for.. reasons. If I want to stream something I copy it to my server using the mounted network drive that samba enables.

Use a linux Samba to mount the drive and share with the Mac using SMB. Try this image https://github.com/dperson/samba

https://github.com/dperson/samba could be something for you

Don't remember whether there is an arm64 image, but I have built one either way from here https://github.com/dperson/samba.git

Interesting!!! Very clean Dockerfile! The dperson/samba one I am using makes sense but feels crazy:

I've just recently started doing this with a Samba container, giving me read/write directly from my Windows box. So much easier than kubectl exec into a container and editing the files directly..

you can use like this image: https://github.com/dperson/samba

I use https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-samba and it is working great.

You can install Samba either on bare metal since it is very light, or in a docker container with this image : https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-samba

Since you are comfortable with Samba, you can give an eye to that container : https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-samba

Setup samba on Docker: https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-samba

Second, what kind of fileshare do you want ? The simplest is something like samba or nfs.

I personally have installed crazymax/samba.
