I am new to HA and I just setup HA on my Pi 3+ and all went well.
I added the Addon for SSH and used Putty to send Sudo commands (which is not working). I have found online that I had to use "hassio homeassistant " but still not as it should be in the videos I see on youtube.
Then I also tried to start Samba so I could go thru my Network using my PC to edit the configuration.yaml file.
Anytime I hit start on Samba… no go.
I have configurations that I can do… but anytime I change something I get an error message.
Recent changes to the samba addon now requires a password. Just stick any one you wish in your config and remember it when your windows asks you what it is.
I have tried changing the “null” password in the default settings. As soon as I edit the “null” the text changes to red color and I cannot save my changes…
Hi there,
I am also struggling with this. I am trying to connect to windows 10 so the default workgroup that I created is “Homegroup”.
I created a password as per the instructions at the top of the samba share addon page and entered “wlan0” for network.
Thanks for getting back so soon, I have restarted samba after making the changes then when I look in Windows file explorer I can only see the files on the laptop in the homegroup.
Any idea what I’m missing? (I’ve also turned off password protected sharing in the advanced sharing settings of Windows)
You sir are a saviour! Homegroup has nothing to do with anything. IP address entered, username, PWD, away we go. Let’s see how much damage I can do the config.yaml now! (Going to copy the original somewhere safe 1st!)
