Providing a NAS for Mac, Linux and Windows based on a Raspberry Pi and Samba.

WEBmin is very powerful, but sometimes its easier to edit the Samba file directly. ;)
Direct edit is also available in the WEBmin.

smb.conf

[Public]
	path = /mnt/sda1/Public
	public = yes
	force group = users
	user = @users
	writeable = yes

[global]
	fruit:metadata = stream
	fruit:posix_rename = yes 
	fruit:model = Xserve
	fruit:nfs_aces = no
	fruit:wipe_intentionally_left_blank_rfork = yes 
	fruit:veto_appledouble = no
	fruit:delete_empty_adfiles = yes 

[TimeMachine]
	public = yes
	writeable = yes
	path = /mnt/sda1/TimeMachine
	user = @users
	fruit:time machine = yes

To enable the Window Explorer to find a Samba Server the wsdd2 package must be installed:

sudo apt install wsdd*

The easiest way is to add a user to the RPi with the user mananger and then to Samba:

sudo smbpasswd -a <linuxuser>

Mirror two identical SSD's.
For the basic setup I used this link:

For sending notifications from for example Raid.
