Samba not connecting to any client #1325
Comments
Oh, here you are! Hey @mathix420 on Windows you won't get it working because the Samba Umbrel App doesn't run on the default Samba port, which is taken by Backup My Mac. I made it work on MacOS and Linux by being explicit on which port I want to connect to. I think they should switch the ports between those apps. |
Aha yes, sorry for the duplicate, wasn't sure where to post this. |
On Mac I didn't do anything special just followed the configuration steps, on Windows there are other file explorers you can use such as OwlFiles https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9MSQ3SZK42KP?ocid=pdpshare I didn't had any luck with https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/smb-ports?tabs=powershell either. Also I would check if there's a firewall or anything on your network blocking traffic on such ports/computers. |
I managed to get my way through this, here is what I learned/worked for me:
This is probably too complicated for casual users, which seems to be the target audience of Umbrel. A good solution to that (apart from fixing the permission issue) would be to create a list allowed ports in the umbrel-app.yml ports:
samba: [445, 446, 447, 411, 412]
ui: [9445, 9446] docker-compose.yml ports:
- "${SAMBA_PORT:-445}:445"
# ...
ports:
- "${UI_PORT:-9445}:9445" Not sure about this implementation, but hopefully it will lead to a better idea. In any case it would be great to see the documentation of the Samba UI/docs updated to let the user know that it does not work out of the box. |
In Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25992, support for changing the SMB port was added, now we just have to wait for it to appear in stable updates :) There is also a workaround for connecting, but it's too complicated: |
Tested on windows and iOS, with tailscale and without (local-ip & umbrel.local)
