Samba Share 0.8 add-on seems to not work (solved)

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hello guys!

I’ve been running Hassio on my pi2 for a few days just to experiment what’s coming! Previously I had Hassbian installed which by default shares the config via samba. It was working and showing up perfectly on my Macs in Finder

However Hassio Samba Share add-on seems to not work for me and I can’t really find out why. This is what the log shows

smbd version 4.5.10 started.

It seems to be running correctly, however I’ve tried restarting the PI, reinstalling the add-on, etc with no luck. Also in the logs there’s a reference to eth0 ip=172.17.0.3which I guess it’s something internal of the samba add-on? Because my real hassio ip is 10.0.1.9!

In case it helps, here’s my current version of everything! Thanks!

What do you have in the log if you try to connect to the share?

3

The share sadly is not showing up in Finder, even restarting Finder, restarting the Mac or trying with another one :frowning:

4

try command+K, then enter smb://hassio.local

5

whoa! it actually connects! I thought it wasn’t working as it wasn’t showing up on Finder. Thanks a lot!

6

I am getting the same error but i am trying to access it using windows. can somebody help?

7

try typing \\hassio.local in a windows folder

hey! I find out the solution to samba problems

Here it is: https://www.tenforums.com/network-sharing/31136-samba-shares-dont-show-up-windows-10-network.html#10

It seems samba 4 does not support kind of SMB3 protocol, so you need to disable it on windows and enable SMB1, then reboot and type in your expolorer the unc path \\ip_of_hassio_machine
