Samba Update broke Add-On

guice · October 24, 2025, 4:19pm

It would seem the latest Samba update did not get its full AddOn screen updated. The new “Server Signing” option has to be an radio select, but it’s giving just a singular radio button:

When trying to fix it manually, I’m getting an error it has to be “one of” options:

I tried with and without quotes (should be without). But, no luck…

Edit:

Restore from Backup

For those unaware: you can go into your backup to restore any specific add-on without having to do a full restore. The Samba add-on hasn’t updated in a few; so, any backup would work. Restore back to 12.5.2.

Same here!

francisp · October 24, 2025, 4:38pm

Thanks for the warning, I won’t update for the moment.

Lifelogger · October 24, 2025, 4:41pm

Yeah, same thing here. Restoring a backup.

tthijs · October 24, 2025, 5:08pm

Same here too

CaptTom · October 24, 2025, 6:00pm

Oops. Saw this right after I started the update. Got a “failed” message on the update, but it apparently did update, because the Add-on is showing 12.5.3 and giving errors starting.

Restore went smoothly. Will wait for the fix. Thanks all!

Broken as well for me (HASSIO)

Sir_Goodenough · October 24, 2025, 6:58pm

Well, This is nice with all the me-too’s, but I hope one of you with the problem has done an issue in the repo? (Or made sure there is an issue)

SAMBA 12.5.3 Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf

### Describe the issue you are experiencing It seems the recently pushed 12.5.3… version of the Samba share addon may have broken something. The addon no longer starts and I get this in the logs. It first complained that the configuration was incorrect, but once I had ticked the new 'default' setting under server signing it at least tried to start. > s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner: starting s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner successfully started s6-rc: info: service fix-attrs: starting s6-rc: info: service fix-attrs successfully started s6-rc: info: service legacy-cont-init: starting s6-rc: info: service legacy-cont-init successfully started s6-rc: info: service init-smbd: starting [16:43:15] INFO: Hostname: homeassistant [16:43:15] INFO: Interfaces: end0 WARNING: Ignoring invalid value '"default", "auto", "mandatory", "disabled"' for parameter 'server signing' Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it s6-rc: warning: unable to start service init-smbd: command exited 1 /run/s6/basedir/scripts/rc.init: warning: s6-rc failed to properly bring all the services up!

Aware, and the author has commented as well: SAMBA 12.5.3 Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf · Issue #4202 · home-assistant/addons · GitHub

It’ll get reverted once somebody with permissions can do it.

Edwin_D · October 24, 2025, 7:20pm

I went in settings and checked a radio button. At least it loaded now, I can’t check if it works atm.

Biscuit · October 24, 2025, 7:50pm

I think this update is aiming for the largest number of ‘me-toos’ in the shortest possible time award.

Both here and in the Repo.

Bang - and out went the lights…

Me Too [backup the add-on before update, and restore works nicely too]

BebeMischa · October 24, 2025, 7:52pm

Samba lives matter!

Sir_Goodenough · October 24, 2025, 7:52pm

Just click the heart or the thumb instead. everybody…

HappyCadaver · October 24, 2025, 8:03pm

Fix has been merged, update coming soon I’m sure.

Edit: Update has landed 12.5.4

Edit edit: Had to change the setting from default to auto to get it to start, but I can access files again. Oddly it seemed to reset itself to default but is still running correctly.

Apologies, I typo'd the list format when I moved parameters from local to GitHub…. There shouldn't be inverted comma's in the list definition. fixes #4202 ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Fixed invalid quoting in the server signing configuration to resolve validation errors and improve config parsing. * **Chores** * Bumped release version to 12.5.4. * Added changelog entry for 12.5.4.

I just noticed as well, updated, and we’re working as well as a proper radio list format for the new option!
