Samba File Shares

At the current time Libre Workspace doesn’t provide this management in the web portal yet so you have to manage them by hand. Normally you want to create a group first, which you can easily do via the libre workspace portal.

In this example we will create a samba share called myshare which is only accessible for the group mygroup.

# Make sure the group mygroup exists (web interface)
mkdir -p /data/samba/myshare
chown -R root:"mygroup" /data/samba/myshare
chmod 770 /data/samba/myshare

nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Make sure this is included once in the file:

[global]
; Generic Share Settings for ACLs (Essential for AD DC)
; This section sets standard VFS modules for all shares below it.
; It ensures Windows ACLs work correctly with your file system.
vfs objects = acl_xattr
map acl inherit = yes
store dos attributes = yes

And then add the share at the end of the file like this:

[myshare]
path = /data/samba/myshare
valid users = @mygroup
browsable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no

# Restart samba
systemctl restart samba-ad-dc

Windows Access

You can now access the share via Windows Explorer like this: \\int.de\myshare Make sure that you are logged in with a user which is member of the group mygroup.

Linux Access

You can access the share via cifs like this:

mount -t cifs -o username=yourusername //int.de/myshare /mnt/myshare

Or via e.g. nemo via smb://int.de/myshare. The domain would be here INT.
