Access Folders/Hard Drives Over WiFi (Samba + Docker)

This video will teach you how to create network shares using samba. Samba is a linux program that allows you to share folders and hard drives across the network to access them from any device. Docker lets you containerize this application and run it on any device. You can run this samba docker container on windows, mac, and linux. You can even do this on a raspberry pi running any linux distro. That's the beauty of Docker. Scroll down for links mentioned in the video.

create-users.sh:
#!/bin/bash
for i in $(seq 1 "${user_count}")
do
eval user=\$user$i
eval password=\$password$i
adduser --disabled-password "$user"
(echo $password; echo $password) | smbpasswd -a $user
done
smbd

Default smb.conf file:
[global]
un comment the line under for ip whitelisting
hosts allow = ipaddress1 ipaddress2 ipaddress3
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server role = standalone server
map to guest = bad user
usershare allow guests = no

To access the shares on your phone, I reccomended using Owlfiles instead of Documents
iOS Owlfiles - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/owlfile...
Android Owlfiles - https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...
iOS Documents by Readle: https://apple.co/3XqhkiY
