Samba

Setup a Samba server on Fedora

NOTE: This assumes selinux and firewalld is disabled

1. Install Samba and enable it

   dnf install -y samba
   systemctl enable smb --now
   

2. Setup user accounts

   smbpasswd -a username
   

3. Setup shares

   vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
   

   Below is an example share:

   [media]
       comment = Files
       path = /srv/files
       read only = no
       browsable = yes
   

4. Restart samba

   systemctl restart smb
   

Mount a Samba share

mount -t cifs -o username=<username> //<servername>/<sharename> /mnt/point/
