SAMBA+ Container

SAMBA+ Container is a new way to use Samba as a file server: SerNet provides the Ubuntu container with SAMBA+ ready-to-use. The file server container introduces an easy to operate script called "csmb" – utilizing "csmb" ensures setting up a fileserver to be pretty simple and quick.

The SAMBA+ Fileserver Container is available in the SAMBA+ Shop as a subscription for 1 to 3 years. Subscriptions are managed via OPOSSO at https://oposso.samba.plus. Detailed instructions are featured in our How-to.

Advantages of SAMBA+ Container

The container comes with all the advantages that characterize SAMBA+ as well. In addition, the advantages of running Samba in a container are e.g.:

  • fast deployment
  • no installation of RPM or DEB packages necessary
  • the operating system (Ubuntu) does not need to be maintained
  • upgrades are pretty fast and simple
  • the container can be easily ported to any other system
  • upgrading can be done parallel to the existing system, easy fallback is possible
  • SAMBA+ Container effectively saves time and costs

The container can be setup either as a standalone server (users are stored locally) or as a domain member server (being part of an existing domain).

To update the container or the Samba version, you just need to download the new version and re-create the container.
