Some way to add PVE shared folder in windows network?

[ruffpl]

Is there a way to add a folder from Proxmox that can be shared in windows network? I need some extra network drive to share files between pc and laptops f.ex when my wife need some Power Point presentations, photos or other files without looking for usb drive or play with bluetooth (just to copy temporary files between all devices). Is there some easy way without creating container/ virtual machine with OS and drives?

hi,

i guess you could configure a container with SMB server running on it

if you want to use the files from your PVE host, you can just keep your files on the host and pass a bindmount [0] to the container.

Is there some easy way without creating container/ virtual machine with OS and drives?

(running services on the hypervisor itself is usually discouraged)

hope this helps

I would actually do just this right here from within your super duper PVE box:
https://www.bachmann-lan.de/xpenology-7-0-unter-proxmox-installieren/

You're then free to mount NFS from PVE, CIFS from Zinfl0wz etc...
Obviously, if the VM is down so are your datas...

OpenMediaVault in a unprivileged Debian LXC with folders bind-mounted from the host to the LXC works fine too.

Proxmox itself doesn't got any NAS functionalities build in.
