How come the folder share you currently have isn’t sufficient? Most systems should be able to access Samba, so what particular goal are you trying to accomplish?
Ah, I see. If you’re really looking for a beginner option, I might just setup a Samba share for the drive. Then you can get into more advanced options once you get more comfortable.
That’s really helpful thanks. I should be able to Google around and figure out how to install samba. Would you recommend installing samba directly on the host or spinning up a dedicated VM or LXC to install there?
I’m planning on running Plex in a LXC. Maybe install Samba on that container alongside Plex?
Ideally, you’d spin up a dedicated container for every service. Combining services somewhat undercuts the advantages of having them in containers to begin with.
Thanks. That’s what I was thinking but I wasn’t sure if it was easier to have Plex and samba in the same container since I want both to directly access the hard drive.
