[New Addon] Samba NAS. (Mount external disk and share it )

KTibow · January 25, 2021, 7:54pm

I don’t know.

I have this error in my system log.

Any clue on how to fix this ?? (my log a flodded with this… like 25 times pr min.)

KTibow · January 25, 2021, 9:24pm

Maybe uninstall, and then use MQTT explorer to remove entities, and then reboot, and install again?

uSlackr · January 27, 2021, 11:19pm

I would love to see this as an official add-on or the official one to expand to add this as an option.

KTibow · January 27, 2021, 11:20pm

It’s not quite as simple as that, in my experience.

Lucio_Tarantino · January 28, 2021, 8:44am

I’have already made the PR for the official add-on but was refused so I create this fork.

The use of smb/cifs share between add-ons is only a workaround solutions. The best solution will be a patch for operating system to allow mount arbitrary disk.
I started working on it but for multiple reasons the work has stopped for a long time.

uSlackr · January 29, 2021, 11:00pm

That’s too bad. Seems like no-brainer

ciryathan · February 3, 2021, 8:07am

Unfortunately I don’t get how I can expose an external drive as time machine target. I disabled the protection mode and set everything I thought is necessary. The log says:

Lucio_Tarantino · February 3, 2021, 7:34pm

The addon is started successfully. So you can mount your TimeMachine share as network disk from Windows, Linux ar MacOS.

I don’t understand your question or your problem. ;(

ciryathan · February 3, 2021, 8:10pm

The problem is, that I can’t choose the TimeMachine Share unter System Preferences -> Time Machine -> Select Volume

it does not appear as available volume.

Lucio_Tarantino · February 4, 2021, 7:17am

See the link below in the section ‘ If the share doesn’t appear…’

Hi @Lucio_Tarantino, since upgrading to Core 2021.2.3, the mount by labels stops with an error. I am using Home Assistant OS on Rpi3b+ 32 bits with OS 5.11.

I’ve double-checked the partition name with terminal and it is correct (Typing in portainerv “ls -l /dev/disk/by-label” shows: “NAS -> …/…/sda1”). However, I can mount the disk manually using /dev/sda1 in my own addon (which uses a custom apparmor.txt- not sure if this is relevant). In your own addon, “mount /dev/sda1 /zzz” results in “cannot mount /dev/sda1 read-only”

I wonder if this pull from the official addon could help : https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/pull/1825

BTW, thanks very much for this addon!

EDIT : I confirm that by adding a apparmor.txt such as this one to your addon, mounting is done properly https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons-1/master/sambanas/apparmor.txt

Here is the log:

[cont-init.d] automount.sh: executing... 
[22:01:40] INFO: Protection Mode is false

mat2c · February 26, 2021, 12:03am

Hi @alexbelgium , can you give a little more detail how you solved it please?

alexbelgium · February 26, 2021, 1:49pm

Hi @mat2c, not sure to understand, do you mean that you still encounter the issue? Normally installing the latest addon version (v8) from the creator (Lucio_Tarantino) should solve the issue. It seems to me that a recent change in HA has modified the global apparmor profile applied by default to all profiles. Individual apparmor.txt files seems to be required to all proper functioning… That’s what the latest addon version includes (among other). If you want to learn more about apparmor their website has lots of info https://apparmor.net/

mat2c · February 26, 2021, 3:25pm

Hi @alexbelgium, thanks for answering!
That’s right, I still have the issue in version 8.
I changed apparmor.txt and restarted the service, but I still can’t start the addon:

This is not a problem with mount permission. The problem that the addon can’t connect to supervisor api.

Have you try a full reboot?

mat2c · February 26, 2021, 5:29pm

Hi @Lucio_Tarantino!
Yes, I had. I also re-installed the addon.

Can you post your addon config , host and supervisors version ?

Do you have other addons? Can you check their log for errors or warnings?

So you are not on the ha operating system right?
If so you don’t need this addon. Config samba on your host is the better solution.
