Samba File Server Container

A Dockerized Samba (SMB/CIFS) server using dperson/samba to expose two host directories as authenticated network shares.

---

Functionality

• Runs Samba service in container named samba.
• Shares two host paths via SMB:
  • Host: /media/yazoo/qnap_vol1/crm/crm-media/programs/ → Container: /mnt/binaries → Share name: binaries
  • Host: /media/yazoo/bad-disk-4T → Container: /mnt/bad-disk → Share name: games
• Authenticates single user: player1 (password: zA0pLin).
• Enforces SMB2 minimum protocol for security.
• Uses custom smb.conf for share definitions and global settings.
• Binds standard SMB ports: TCP 139, 445; UDP 137, 138.
