first we need to install docker and docker compose:

https://wiki.vidalinux.org/index.php/Howto_docker

deploy samba container

clone the following repo from github:

git clone https://github.com/vidalinux/docker.git

enter docker-samba directory:

cd docker/docker-samba

create docker container with script:

chmod +x build
./build

if everthing run fine you should see the image:

docker images|grep samba

if you want to change container parameters you need to edit docker-compose.yml file:

vi docker-compose.yml

deploy samba container using docker-compose:

docker-compose up -d

if container start fine you should see the container:

docker ps|grep samba_server

view containers deployment log using this command:

docker-compose logs -f

mount samba share

show the samba share name with the following commmand:

smbclient -L localhost

output results for this command: lpcfg_do_global_parameter: WARNING: The "encrypt passwords" option is deprecated

Password for [WORKGROUP\root]:
Anonymous login successful

	Sharename       Type      Comment
	---------       ----      -------
	share           Disk      samba share
	IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba Server)
SMB1 disabled -- no workgroup available

mount share on linux command line:

mkdir /mnt/samba
mount -t cifs -o username=samba,password=mysambapass //localhost/share /mnt/samba

mount samba share at boot time, edit fstab and add the following line:

//localhost/share				/mnt/samba	cifs    defaults,username=samba,password=mysambapass 0 0

reload systemctl daemon:

systemctl daemon-reload

execute the following command to verify configuration:

mount -a 
mount |grep samba

if everything is good you should see the following output:

//localhost/share on /mnt/samba type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=3.1.1,cache=strict,username=samba,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=127.0.0.1,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=4194304,wsize=4194304,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1,closetimeo=1)
