[13:51] <Havenstance> anyone in here able to take a look at a samba config I'm running on 18.04 lts? I can view the share on my windows box, however I cannot actually write anything to it
[13:51] <Havenstance> I swear I've looked at permissions a million times but I'm missing something in there
[13:55] <Havenstance> https://pastebin.com/BuCnWf5L
[13:56] <Havenstance> I've asked in #samba too so just incase someone here knew I thought I'd bounce it off the bunch of sysadmins I know are in here lol
[14:13] <Havenstance> have to reboot this machine.... I forgot the sudo password xD
[14:27] <Havenstance> welp that's embarassing, I broke this box lol
[14:49] <cmaloney> Havenstance: Lovely. :)
[14:49] <cmaloney> Re: samba: I've had as little experience with it as possible, so sadly I'm of no help there.
[15:00] <Havenstance> eh, it's okay it's majaro anyway, I thought I read ubuntu had a 20.04 lts out now?
[15:00] <Havenstance> im gonna look in a bit and if that's true it's going on top of this manjaro lol
[15:01] <Havenstance> as far as samba goes, im thinking it just doesn't like to share with windows
[15:01] <cmaloney> It depends on the Windows
[15:01] <cmaloney> it's crabby if AD is there anywhere in the system
[15:01] <Havenstance> so I may just use a small windows xp vm to share those volumes if I can find the iso
[15:02] <Havenstance> I don't have AD that I know of, but it's Windows 10 I can see the shares but I can't read them...
[15:05] <Havenstance> and tbh im sure 10 is only being so tempermental because it heard me say I was gonna replace it with Ubuntu Studio lol
[15:05] <Havenstance> but im gonna wait for 20.04 as I now see that's coming in April :)
[15:10] <jrwren> Havenstance: unix file permissions still apply, so what is the ownership and permissions for /media/share1 and /media/share2 ?
[15:11] <jrwren> samba shares with windows just fine, it has for 20+yrs now, and crazily, I've been using it for longer than that.
[15:12] <cmaloney> Yeah, $lastjob had Samba for the longest time
[15:12] <cmaloney> when they moved to AD is when things started falling apart
[15:13] <cmaloney> My evidence is anecdotal though
[15:15] <jrwren> how long ago was that?
[15:16] <cmaloney> 2015-2016ish?
[15:17] <cmaloney> Before Windows 10, for sure
[15:17] <Havenstance> jrwren, I've used it in the past with absolutely zero issues
[15:17] <Havenstance> just seems with Windows 10 things are far more quirky than they ever used to be with xp or even 98se lol
[15:17] <cmaloney> Might have been 2017
[15:18] <cmaloney> XP to Windows 10 is quite a long jump. ;)
[15:18] <cmaloney> I'm sure there are still places though that are planning their Windows 7 migrations. ;)
[15:18] <Havenstance> well I hated 7, and 8 and 8.1 were uh to put it mildly not friendly
[15:18] <Havenstance> dude my work still has XP boxes
[15:18] <Havenstance> and I work for a mortgage company
[15:19] <cmaloney> This does not surprise me
[15:19] <Havenstance> granted those boxes do not do anything except handle file automation and their blocked from internet
[15:19] <Havenstance> but someone internal who knows what their doing could cause some serious issues lol
[15:19] <Havenstance> hang on, forgot this is linux I don't have to open anything special to get that info
[15:20] <jrwren> i'm definitely using it with a win10 client.
[15:20] <jrwren> works fine.
[15:21] <cmaloney> jrwren: Are you using AD at all?
[15:21] <jrwren> no.
[15:21] <Havenstance> okay so I am seeing something strange in this terminal man
[15:21] <Havenstance> havenstance@dockerpriv:~$ ls -l /media/files
[15:21] <Havenstance> total 0
[15:22] <jrwren> I think the thing that you are missing is `encrypt passwords = true` in your smb.conf, but that may be default these days.
[15:22] <jrwren> yeah, it is default true on my samba.
[15:22] <Havenstance> see yesterday it was stuck as root/root
[15:23] <Havenstance> so at least I see a change means im getting somewhere lol
[15:23] <jrwren> isn't is /media/share1 and /media/share2?
[15:24] <jrwren> what does ls -al /media/share1 /media/share2 say?
[15:24] <Havenstance> ls -al /media/share1
[15:24] <Havenstance> sec
[15:24] <Havenstance> havenstance@dockerpriv:~$ ls -al /media/share1
[15:24] <Havenstance> ls: cannot access '/media/share1': No such file or directory
[15:25] <Havenstance> I'll pull that section that defines shares from SMB.conf
[15:27] <jrwren> did you set the password with smbpasswd?
[15:28] <Havenstance> those are spoofed share names man
[15:28] <jrwren> oh, so it wasn't actually your smb.conf?
[15:28] <Havenstance> forgot I changed those, the originals are actually /media/plex and /media/files
[15:29] <Havenstance> nah I spoofed just the ending, figured if when you said share1 share2 I'd know to substitute those directories in the commands based on what you said
[15:29] <Havenstance> hang on I'll give you the actual config, and yes I did set password with smbpass, even set up the .conf to allow for passwordless access, I can see those directories when I run sudo mount -a and come to them from windows
[15:30] <Havenstance> just trying to put anything in it says you need permission
[15:30] <Havenstance> despite me saying chown 1000:1000 /both/sharenames
[15:30] <jrwren> what user is 1000?
[15:30] <Havenstance> havenstance
[15:30] <Havenstance> group is haventsance on 1000 too
[15:31] <jrwren> but you have forceuser=openmyfiles?
[15:31] <jrwren> I'd remove the forceuser,forcegroup from the smb.conf
[15:31] <jrwren> i'd also remove the valid users.
[15:31] <Havenstance> putting it in was an attempt to resolve too lol I'll remove that if it's not needed, the openmyfiles was another account i created and did a chown too as well
[15:32] <Havenstance> but it didn't work either
[15:32] <Havenstance> making the edits now
[15:33] <Havenstance> im trying to get these so that docker can use them cuz I wanna put a bunch of containers on this thing for plex & related stuff
[15:34] <jrwren> you are going to run docker with storage over SMB?
[15:34] <Havenstance> so to be clear before I save this man, I'm removing forceuser, forcegroup, and validusers?
[15:34] <Havenstance> no
[15:34] <Havenstance> smb is to share that stuff to my windows machine
[15:34] <Havenstance> docker is going on this machine when I get the shares working
[15:34] <jrwren> k
[15:34] <jrwren> yes, remove those, they aren't needed
[15:35] <Havenstance> all the smb is for so I can drop new files in when the wife makes me buy her stuff lol
[15:35] <jrwren> have you tried connecting with smbclient to localhsot?
[15:36] <Havenstance> oooo
[15:36] <Havenstance> something happened it let me write a file to it that time
[15:36] <Havenstance> gonna check terminal and see if it shows up
[15:37] <Havenstance> dude you just fixed it
[15:37] <jrwren> \m/
[15:38]  * Havenstance sends jrwren an e-beer
[15:38] <jrwren> thanks.
[15:38] <Havenstance> no thank you man
[15:38] <jrwren> now run a speed test, how fast can you copy a large file to it?
[15:38] <Havenstance> that was the most frustrating thing
[15:38] <jrwren> I want to be filled with envy at the speed.
[15:38] <Havenstance> it's gonna be slow af I haven't disabled the offloading on the xcp-ng vm adapters yet
[15:39] <jrwren> oh, its a VM? then I will feel no envy. :)
[15:43] <Havenstance> nvm
[15:43] <Havenstance> it is in fact transferring at gigabit
[15:43] <Havenstance> and even more
[15:43] <jrwren> noice!
[15:43] <Havenstance> I don't have to enter a password to view my files
[15:44] <Havenstance> ITS A MIRACLE, not only did you help me get this going but you stopped the wife nagging me about the nag box lol
[15:44] <jrwren> well, i do love me some samba.
[16:01] <Havenstance> now that I have a working config file it'll make it so much easier to setup in the future should I need to
[17:12] <Havenstance> ok so now I mapped the shares to my windows pc, and windows is saying it has just shy of a tb
[17:13] <Havenstance> that movies drive is a 4tb raid 0 and the storage is 1.5tb
[17:13] <Havenstance> NAME    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINT

[17:58] <jrwren> oh man. i love this. http://librarybox.us/
[20:10] <_stink_> nice!
