Share a folder with Samba

Hi there.

I need to share a folder with my home network. How can I do this with Aurora or eventually Bluefin if not possible?

I usually have a very easy menu after right-clicking, but I don’t see anything. Usually kdenetwork-filesharing is installed already, but I can’t see anything.

Thanks in advance

Hello, I just started using UniversalBlue this week and also needed a Samba server on my PC. You can easily activate Samba as follows (as root user):

rpm-ostree install samba samba-common samba-client --allow-inactive

Then have a look at the following documentation - because of selinux settings: GitHub - ublue-os/ucore: An OCI base image of Fedora CoreOS with batteries included

Cheers,

Thank you. I’m pretty sure I did everything from that link and more from Fedora’s docs, but I can’t see the shared folder from Windows.

I hope someone sooner or later will add easier samba, like a simple left click → share folder, because I’ve been trying this for hours and hours by now. :')

Remote desktop is also absurdly hard. Switched to KDE Plasma and works better, but can’t find any easy solution to share a simple folder. Normal users would throw everything away and go to ChromeOS or Windows as soon as possible.

I got wsdd and samba working great. Have you sorted this out

Don’t take this the wrong way but I got to say this:
When you managed to make it work, even place that statement in a thread where somebody doesn’t get it working, why don’t you explain how you did it:
what did you install, how did you set it up, in other words what did you do to make it work?
Only saying I got it working doesn’t help anybody.
