Multiple user about docker-timemachine HOT 8 CLOSED

If you provide your run command and an example of your user config file, I can help. If you're finding the sparse bundle in that directory, it's being stored in the copy on write file system so it won't persist outside of the container. I would guess there is something bad in the config telling it to store data in the wrong place.

from docker-timemachine.

This is the run comand

sudo docker run -d \
  --restart=always \
  --name timemachine \
  --network=macvlan1 \
  --ip=10.0.1.250 \
  -e CUSTOM_SMB_CONF="false" \
  -e CUSTOM_USER="false" \
  -e DEBUG_LEVEL="1" \
  -e MIMIC_MODEL="TimeCapsule8,119" \
  -e EXTERNAL_CONF="/users" \
  -e HIDE_SHARES="no" \
  -e TM_USERNAME="timemachine" \
  -e TM_GROUPNAME="timemachine" \
  -e TM_UID="1000" \
  -e TM_GID="1000" \
  -e PASSWORD="timemachine" \
  -e SET_PERMISSIONS="false" \
  -e SHARE_NAME="TimeMachine" \
  -e SMB_PORT="445" \
  -e VOLUME_SIZE_LIMIT="0" \
  -e WORKGROUP=“CASA” \
  -v /mnt/Seagate/timemachine:/opt/timemachine \
  -v timemachine-var-lib-samba:/var/lib/samba \
  -v timemachine-var-cache-samba:/var/cache/samba \
  -v timemachine-run-samba:/run/samba \
  -v /mnt/Seagate/timemachine-users:/users \
  mbentley/timemachine:smb

And this is the user I created

TM_USERNAME=gonzalocomas
TM_GROUPNAME=gonzalocomas
PASSWORD="mypassword"
SHARE_NAME=gonzalocomas
VOLUME_SIZE_LIMIT="2 T"
TM_UID=1001
TM_GID=1001

This file is stored in mnt/Seagate/timemachine-users (name gonzalocomas.conf)

If I run this I get a share named "gonzalocomas" and it says that is 2T in size. But is not "mapped" to /mnt/Seagate/timemachine.

And I can´t login using "timemachine" user. Only gonzalocomas.

Ah, I see the problem. My example isn't great and that causes confusion. You will want to bind mount /opt/gonzalocomas from the container to your host.

So for each user, you will want to make sure that the value of SHARE_NAME is mounted from /opt in the container to somewhere on the host. In your case from your example:

-v /mnt/Seagate/gonzalocomas:/opt/gonzalocomas \

Alternately, you could just bind mount /opt and all subdirectories will be bind mounted to the host.

-v /mnt/Seagate/timemachine:/opt \

I would also suggest setting:

-e SET_PERMISSIONS="true" \

Otherwise you will have to manually set the permissions on your host filesystem.
