Comment on samba docker compose help ver2

I would suggest adding “UID” and “GID” environment variables to the container, and set them to the numeric values for user and group numbers that show in place of your name when you use “ls -an” inside of the “mount” folder (they will probably be the same number). I get the same error as you when I copy your docker-compose and try to access a folder owned by my user. When I add the UID and GID of my user id to the docker-compose (1007 for me), the error goes away.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried and it still doesn’t work. I updated the google docs notes with my steps if you want to see what I did.

  Hmm, well it doesn’t seem to be any problem with the docker compose then as best as I can tell. I picked a random ext4 flash drive and replicated your setup with the UID and GID set and it seems to work fine:
  
  # /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /home/<me>/mount/ext_hdd_01 ext4 defaults 0 2
  
  ~/mount % ls -an total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 1000 1000 4096 Mar 27 16:22 . drwx------ 86 1000 1000 4096 Mar 27 16:31 .. drwxrwxrwx 3 0 0 4096 Mar 27 16:26 ext_hdd_01 ~/mount/ext_hdd_01 % ls -an total 6521728 drwxrwxrwx 3 0 0 4096 Mar 27 16:26 . drwxr-xr-x 3 1000 1000 4096 Mar 27 16:22 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 1000 1000 6678214224 May 5 2024 PXL_20240504_233345242.mp4 drwxrwxrwx 2 0 0 16384 May 5 2024 lost+found -rwxr--r-- 1 1000 1000 5 Mar 27 16:27 test.txt

  I was able to play the PXL.mp4 video from my desktop and write back the test.txt file

    What displays when you run “id” as your user? You’ll want it to match what your inputting in the docker compose. I may have missed it but I didn’t see you identify what your personal UID and GID are in the Google doc.
