Installing Samba
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
#. Install Samba if you have not already…
|
|
|
|
.. note:: You can check if Samba is already running with: ``sudo systemctl status smbd``
|
|
|
|
.. tabs::
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Debian-based
|
|
|
|
#. For Ubuntu, Mint, Pop-OS, PureOS, etc
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install samba && sudo systemctl enable smbd && sudo systemctl start smbd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Arch
|
|
|
|
#. For Arch
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo pacman -S samba && sudo systemctl enable smbd && sudo systemctl start smb
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: CentOS/Redhat
|
|
|
|
#. For CentOS/Redhat
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo yum install samba && sudo systemctl enable smb && sudo systemctl start smb
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Fedora
|
|
|
|
#. For Fedora
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install samba && sudo systemctl enable smb && sudo systemctl start smb
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Add your user to Samba, replacing ``$USER`` with your Linux username.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo smbpasswd -a $USER
|
|
|
|
First you will be prompted for your Linux password, then you will be asked to create a new **SMB password** for the user with permission to write to your new backup share. It can be the same password, or it can be different. Keep it somewhere safe, such as Vaultwarden.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Add your user to sambashare group, necessary on some systems.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo usermod -a -G sambashare $USER
|
|
|
|
Again, replacing ``$USER`` and entering your Linux password when prompted, not your new SMB password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. In case your system is running a firewall by default or due to your own custom configuration, enter these commands to allow connections to Samba. If it generates an error, you can safely ignore it:
|
|
|
|
.. tabs::
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Debian-based
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo ufw allow Samba
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Fedora
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=samba
|
|
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Create a directory to share or choose an existing one and make note of its location (path). For this example, we will call the share ``backup-share`` and its corresponding shared directory will be located at ``/home/$USER/start9-backup``. Replace ``$USER`` with your Linux username below.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p /home/$USER/start9-backup
|
|
|
|
.. note:: If you are on Fedora 38+, you need to do an extra step to allow the Samba share in SELinux:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo semanage fcontext --add --type "samba_share_t" "/home/$USER/start9-backup(/.*)?"
|
|
sudo restorecon -R /home/$USER/start9-backup
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Configure Samba by adding the following to the end of the ``/etc/samba/smb.conf`` file:
|
|
|
|
a. First open the file...
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
|
|
|
|
b. Then add...
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
[backup-share]
|
|
path = "/home/$USER/start9-backup"
|
|
create mask = 0600
|
|
directory mask = 0700
|
|
read only = no
|
|
guest ok = no
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``[backup-share]`` in brackets is the *Share Name* and can be called anything you'd like. We used ``backup-share`` in this example.
|
|
- ``path`` should be the path to the directory you created earlier.
|
|
|
|
c. Save/write the file and then exit.
|
|
|
|
d. Test the config file with...
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
testparm
|
|
|
|
Look for "Loaded services file OK". You don't need to do anything else here.

|
|
|
Connect StartOS
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
#. Go to *System > Create Backup*.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/backup.png
|
|
:width: 60%
|
|
|
|
#. Click "Open".
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/backup0.png
|
|
:width: 60%
|
|
|
|
#. Fill in the following fields:
|
|
|
|
* Hostname - This is the hostname of the machine that your shared folder is located on, you can get this with ``hostname`` or ``hostnamectl``
|
|
* Path - This is the "Share Name" (name of the share in your samba config) and **not** the full directory path. In this guide we use ``backup-share``.
|
|
* Username - This is your Linux username on the remote machine that you used to create the shared directory
|
|
* Password - This is the password you set above using ``smbpasswd``
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/backup1.png
|
|
:width: 60%
|
|
|
|
#. Click "Save".
|
|
|
|
That's it! You can now :ref:`Create<backup-create>` encrypted, private backups of all your StartOS data to your Linux machine or external drive!!
