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
