This is How to install and setup package Samba4 on your Turris Omnia device.

• In reFortis go to Package management - Packages - in section NAS check Samba and save it.
• After installation notification reboot your device to see changes in LuCI.

Now you should have two new entries in LuCI menu Services. HDD Idle and Network shares for your Samba v4.

LuCI - System - Mount Points

Make shure you have disk enabled (checked) in section Mount Points, remember destination. Default is /srv. Apply changes.

Let's say your device have adress 192.168.0.1 and you want to have two shared folders: private, public. Your terminal commands will be:

 ssh root@192.168.0.1
 
 cd /srv
 mkdir samba
 cd samba
 
 mkdir private public
 chmod -R 777 private
 chmod -R 777 public

By now your data will be stored in drive at destinations:

• /srv/samba/private/
• /srv/samba/public/

 Services - Network shares

• Interface will be mostly LAN
• Workgroup default is WORKGROUP
• Description can be any text as you wish. For me: Samba on Turris Omnia

Check fileds you can leave all empty.

• name: private
• path: /srv/samba/private/
• browseable: checked
• allowed users: root
• Inherit owner: checked
• create mask: 0666
• directory mask: 0777

• name: public
• path: /srv/samba/public/
• browseable: checked
• guests only: checked
• Inherit owner: checked
• create mask: 0666
• directory mask: 0777

Other fileds will be unchecked. Apply changes.

Make sure, logging with root user is allowed. Line must be commented:

 ## set invalid users
 #invalid users = root

For you to log-in at private folder, you need in this stage setup password for samba account root.

 ssh root@192.168.0.1
 smbpasswd -a root

You will be prompted to enter and re-enter desired samba password.

 LuCI - System - Startup

Find line “samba4” and press button Start to run apllication.

For autostart on system boot press button Disabled, it will change on green Enabled.

Open file manager, go to Others and in destination path enter:

 smb://192.168.0.1

To browse folder public, just press enter to log in as Annonymous user without password.

To browse folder private, enter credentials:

• user: root
• workgroup: WORKGROUP
• and your samba password

Same as for Linux, but in first step your path will be:

 \\192.168.0.1

Now you have your network shared folders ready to use.

Open the Network Shares page:

Create the shared directory:

Place a # before the invalid users = root line to disable the restriction on the root user:

Add the root user to the list of users that can access the Samba share:

  # smbpasswd -a root
  New SMB password:
  Retype new SMB password:
  

Press ⌘K the Samba share:

Supply credentials:

• Samba (smb)
• Forum Maxovy poznamky k smb.conf
