05 - Samba (File Sharing)

Overview

Samba allows you to share folders from PocketNode accessible by Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS devices.

Configuration

/etc/samba/smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = PocketNode
security = user
map to guest = Bad User
dns proxy = no

[shared]
path = /shared
browsable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
public = yes

Setup

# Create shared directory
mkdir -p /shared
chmod 777 /shared

# Set Samba password for user
echo -e "android\nandroid" | smbpasswd -a android -s

# Start services
smbd
nmbd

Access from devices

macOS

  • Finder → Cmd + K → smb://192.168.100.175/shared
  • Or: Finder sidebar → Network → PocketNode

Windows

  • File Explorer → address bar: \\192.168.100.175\shared

iOS (Files app)

  • Files → ... menu → Connect to Server → smb://192.168.100.175/shared

Linux

# Mount temporarily
mount -t cifs //192.168.100.175/shared /mnt/pocketnode -o guest

# Or use file manager: smb://192.168.100.175/shared

Add more shares
