Samba
Basic setup using samba on a Raspberry Pi 4 for time machine backups
STEP 1
## --------------------------
## Set up Storage Block Disk
## --------------------------
# list block devices
lsblk
# Delete partitions and reboot
sfdisk --delete /dev/sda
# Write Files system
mkfs.ext4 -j -L SambaStorage /dev/sda
# List block ids
blkid
# update file system table
vim /etc/fstab
# mount all volumes in fs table
mount -a
# reboot
reboot
STEP 2
## -------------------------
## Install Samba
## -------------------------
# Install Samba
apt-get install samba
STEP 3
Update Samba Configuration to listen only to local network
/etc/samba/smb.conf. The following are snippets, not a complete samba
configuration file.
[global]
#### macOS definitions #####
min protocol = SMB2
spotlight = yes
fruit:metadata = stream
fruit:model = MacSamba
fruit:posix_rename = yes
fruit:delete_empty_adfiles = yes
# SAMBA USER ACCOUNTS
[derek]
path = /samba/users/derek
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
read only = no
fruit:aapl = yes
fruit:time machine = yes
vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 2770
valid users = derek
STEP 4
# Test Config after Changes
testparm
# Restart services
systemctl restart smbd
systemctl restart nmbd
## -----------------------
## Create users
## -----------------------
useradd -M -d /samba/users/derek -s /usr/sbin/nologin -G sambashare derek
mkdir /samba/users/derek
chown derek:sambashare /samba/users/derek
chmod 2770 /samba/users/derek
smbpasswd -a derek
smbpasswd -e derek
STEP 5
