Share a folder with Samba

Aurora
1

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,
Andreas

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.
