Samba Installed, Can't Access

[Luncheon3462]

My YunoHost server

**Hardware: Old slim client server with intel x86/64
**YunoHost version: 11.2.9.1 (stable).
**I have access to my server : SSH and Webadmin
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

I am trying to access files in the /home directory of my yunohost on my LAN from another computer on the same LAN, which runs MacOS. I successfully installed Samba from the yunohost App Store. I can now get the start of a connection to the yunohost server by smb://local.lan.address. However, when prompted for the username and password, it fails even though I am using a yunohost user with admin privileges. In the Webadmin, I also made sure to give that yunohost user access to samba.

I’m not sure why the yunohost username and password is failing. I can access the machine by SSH with the same username (though I use the ssh key instead of password). The password does work fine with I need to become sudo or sudo su.

Thank you

Had to give myself a samba password via root and terminal:

smbpasswd -a USER

How to turn YunoHost into a NAS with Samba

I made a samba configuration, I think the setup is as follows: Install samba apt install samba Create some groups In the permissions section of the webadmin you have to create groups. If a person is in the group he will have access to this or that samba folder. Create shared dir mkdir -p /home/public/dir1 mkdir -p /home/p…
