Mount SMB Share with write Permission in Proxmox Container

[fastest-snail]

So, I have a network storage (SMB) containing Plex media files. I followed this tutorial to mount that storage to my container (unprivileged). I can access the files but don't have permission to write anything to that directory.
How can I make the directory writable?

This is what I use for my samba server

[Plex-server-pool1_plex_files]
comment= samba on ubuntu
path = /pool1/plex_files
read only = no
browsable = yes
guest ok = no
writable = yes
force user =plex
force group =plex
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
valid users = yourusername
public = no
#disable netbios = yes
#browse list = no

for your existing files you could do chmod 664 plex-media

probably also need to change the ownership from nobody to plex

chown -R plex.plex 'plex-media'

Thanks for the reply, however, I'm really new to this. Where do you modify the config for the samba server? I just created a share on OMV (another VM on Proxmox) following some random tutorial and have really no idea what I'm doing here. Anyway, I've attached ACL for the shared directory here:


Also, I get this error when trying to change ownership.


All of this is just local and not exposed outside of my network, so security is less of a concern for now (however, I'd still like to do it properly later or now if it's easy). I just want to get it operational for now.

I think I figured out the problem. I think the problem is with the SMB share that I created. I mounted it on my regular PC (Ubuntu) and it has the same permission issue there as well.
No idea how to fix it though.

Can you post the output of the file /etc/samba/smb.conf? Make sure to check for any identifying information first.

For me as new to Proxmox, well kinda, a more relevant question is why is not SMB one of the available share options out of the box?

No one uses Windows?
