gdiepen / volume-sharer Goto Github PK

I'd like to use this image to also share local folders on the docker host.
How could one proceed to do so?

I've tried to bind mount a local path to a submount in /docker_volumes with no success.

docker run --name volume-sharer --rm -v /var/lib/docker/volumes:/docker_volumes -v /home/myName/test:/docker_volumes/uniqueNameTest -p 139:139 -p 445:445 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -d gdiepen/volume-sharer

I was repeatedly getting the following line in the container logs:

process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/storage failed. No such file or directory

Solution/fix appears to be adding

usershare path =

to the smb.conf file. Which is pretty easy to do with the volume shared :)

My solution was sourced from here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=772154
The gist:

This is not a bug but a feature.
The samba 3.6.x has as default: usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershares
if a user enters a wrong path somewhere it falls back to the usershares and this share cannot be found there.
To get rid of this message do the following.
Define the following and disable usershares. in smb.conf (global)
usershare path =

Maybe there's a bad path coming from somewhere that is triggering this fallback?
Despite the log message, the container was still functioning as expected, from a user point of view.

Hi,

I just tried to run it on my mac

docker run -d --rm \
--name volume-sharer \
-p 139:139 -p 445:445 \
-v /var/lib/docker/volumes:/docker_volumes \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-d gdiepen/volume-sharer

and got this error

d66363d0077417d666f45d720c21728ab9330e4721e08a8841edf12577da85b1

Maybe it's not made to run on a Mac but I'm taking a chance!

Would it be possible to add an additional share containing all (named) volumes? That way, one can add a network drive to the explorer and assign a drive letter to it. (It doesnt seem possible to add a network drive for the whole server at 10.0.75.2)

Hi,

I'd like to make changes to the samba config and would like the volume to be persistent, how can I add this? I tried adding another -v option, but it didn't work (I'm new to docker).

Hi,

In my smb.conf I have 30+ lines of:

include = /etc/samba/cli_shares.conf
include = /etc/samba/volume_shares.conf

2 more are added with each restart of the docker...

Is it caused by these 2 lines?

Starting the VM with docker run --name volume-sharer --rm -v /var/lib/docker/volumes:/docker_volumes -p 139:139 -p 445:445 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --net=host -d gdiepen/volume-sharer Results in WARNING: Published ports are discarded when using host network mode and I'm unable to connect to the docker vm via smb in explorer, so it seems something has changed with how host networking works in current Docker for Windows, unless I'm missing something. Thoughts?
