Permissions problems with SAMBA under NETH8

Could it be a Mac issue? Did you try the Mac customization?

You could copy the files using podman cp to keep the owner/permissions.

podman cp containername:/path myfile

Process myfile locally.

podman cp myfile containername:/path

Or you could use podman unshare which also keeps permissions:

runagent -m samba1

Edit a file as example:

podman unshare nano $(podman volume inspect shares --format={{.Mountpoint}})/share/file

Here’s how the permissions are resetted from the UI:

imageroot/actions/reset-share-acls/50reset_share_acls

main


      
          #
          
          import sys
          import json
          import agent
          
          podman_exec = ["podman", "exec", "samba-dc"]
          
          request = json.load(sys.stdin)
          
          samba_reset_share = podman_exec + ["samba-reset-acls", "-g", request["group"], "-p", request["permissions"], request["name"]]
          phelper = agent.run_helper(*samba_reset_share)
          
          if phelper.returncode == 0:
              pass
          elif phelper.returncode == 2:
              agent.set_status('validation-failed')
              json.dump([{'field':'name', 'parameter':'name','value': request['name'], 'error':'share_not_found'}], fp=sys.stdout)
              sys.exit(2)
          elif phelper.returncode == 3:
              agent.set_status('validation-failed')
