What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Docker container image that packages the Samba server, providing SMB/CIFS file and print sharing for Windows, Linux, and other clients. Shares, users, workgroups, and smb.conf options are configured via command-line flags when running the container.

Use cases

  • run a samba file server in docker
  • share a directory with windows machines over smb
  • self-host a network share on a home server
  • expose a mounted volume via cifs
  • set up samba users and shares without editing smb.conf
  • containerized nas file sharing

When to choose

  • you want a quick, containerized SMB/CIFS file server
  • you run a self-hosted NAS or home server with Docker
  • you need simple flag-based configuration of shares and users

When to avoid

  • you need Active Directory domain controller features
  • you prefer native Samba packages on the host
  • you need actively developed features or frequent updates
