OpenWRT - File Sharing Server on OpenWRT with Samba4 (SMB)

Thank you

Can't install on Dir842 right. I got not enough space error.

I'm using samba for the local nas network, can the files on the HDD be accessed via luci or not?

If you use 1Gbps links between your router and PC, how fast can you get? I feel that the router becomes a bottleneck, even if you use a HDD

samba36-server good alternative. I had 3mb and only samba36-server was able to install

I have installed openwert on an zyxel nsa325 v2 yesterday and want to share an internal sata drive. Not an usb drive. Do you know if that's possible?

I just got myself an used WRT1900ac V2 to test drive openwrt. I'm new to linux and openwrt. I tried few different USB HDD and USB drive. Nothing seems to be working. I read some articles online saying if the drive is being detected it should show under the /dev. What is simplest way to determined the drive is working or not? Thanks.

where did you paste this line? "newuser:*:1000:65534:newuser:/var:/bin/false" You completely lost me at this point. which key is EXE and Column?

How to change User and Password

thanks a lot :)

cannot mount... doesnt mount

I have router without usb but i have modem with usb. How can i access to that usb on openwrt and add?

how do you configure share without level user access I can't figure out

I managed to get the drive to mount after some tries and succeeded in going through the tutorial. But when I upgraded my OpenWRT to 22.03.1, it deleted all the settings and I had to reinstall. This time I just can't get the drive to mount!! All drivers are installed and I can see the drive under Mount Points menu. So what didn't I do right?

My drive does not show up in Mounted file systems until I installed package "kmod-fs-ntfs" which did not mention in the video.

Thank you!! finally i got it right by folowing your instructions!

Does this work with FAT32 and ExFAT formatted drives?

can i do it on r2s?

not working , untill adding rule into firewall

I have successfully configured the share and permissions. I can see that in windows and phone bit when I try to access I get access denied. All SAMBA Share username and password logs on also fine. still access denied

Well done sir but do you have a video explaining how to setup a way to access the usb ssd from outside the home network?

I face so many troubles in order to this work. Finally, the options that work for me "rw,nodev,noexec,noatime,nosuid,uid=xxxx,gid=xxxxx" By passing those options and special mention to uid and gid did the magic. They need to match your user. BTW, I'm using samba4

Excelente vídeo.
Estou tentando instalar openwrt em um TP-Link 750n. Desejo instalar nele rclone, montar GoogleDrive como disco, local. Fazer com que seja montado automaticamente no boot. Com a flag --destiny ( -) do opkg, instalar os pacotes como openvpn, samba, ddns, Lucy nesse reclone montado. Porém estou com dificuldade para fazer com que o rclone já monte o disco no start

I'm stuck on the network drive mapping, I keep getting issues with certificates and nothing seems to work. Have you experienced this problem?

I have no ideea what you said after inserting new user

Can you please make another video toturial for ksmbd because samba a way to big for my WRT1900ACS. Can't install any update after using samba.

just spent 30m-1hr trying to get the permissions right by myself. Should have looked at your video first, got it done in 5min! Best tutorial on the internet!!

hello, I am running the OpenWrt 21.02 on the Linksys WRT32X and managed to install USB storage, Block-Mount and Samba4 following your video, but after installed the Luci-app-samba4, the new "Service" menu didn't show up. Appreciate if you can answer what I done wrong. stay safe!

I'm unable to copy large files. Saying there is not enough space on device but I have a 1TB HDD mounted on the router. Anyone who can help?

Thanks for the tutorial! How come samba wont let files/directories be named with a colon ( : ) ?

what model of linksys you use on the video, bro?

I'm having a problem.. I've followed the tutorial but my hdd can't be written, it can only be read.. what's wrong?

Thanks for the tutorial man.
U are awesome.

can you do one for ksmbd on openwrt? the package size is much smaller, and the luci interface is very similar.

tôi đã mất 3 tiếng để làm được :))😀😀

the share is not accessible ?

Hello, My router doesn't have enough space to install samba4, is there any other package I can use to enable file sharing which lighter than samba4?

This was easy and clear. Thank you.

Can i request for torrent install guide in openwrt 😅

Too bad, looks like the samba4 packages might be too big for my router (~10mb max storage 😢). Great content!

verify_pkg_installable: Only have 4912kb available on filesystem /overlay, pkg samba4-libs needs 7010
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package samba4-server.

This is perfect. I have been putting of installing Samba for so long.

It wont let me write from windows? It says i dont have permission

hello, thanks for the great videos
i already try it and it works, but when i restart my x86 openwrt it not want to connect, any suggest?
