Re: adding Samba to config.scm

[gfp]

Hi Felix,

I added the Samba service type to my config.scm

1.
I tried to do a:
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

but there was a message:
Mistake: samba-service-type: not bound variable

here the debugger:

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

What do I have to change?


here my config.scm:

 (services
    (append
      (list (service mate-desktop-service-type)
            (service plasma-desktop-service-type)
        (service cups-service-type
                (cups-configuration
                    (web-interface? #t)
                    (extensions (list cups-filters hplip))))                    
            (service openssh-service-type)
            (service tor-service-type)
            (set-xorg-configuration
              (xorg-configuration
               (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
            (service libvirt-service-type
                     (libvirt-configuration
                      (unix-sock-group "libvirt")
                      (tls-port "16555")))
            (service virtlog-service-type
                     (virtlog-configuration
                      (max-clients 1000)))
            (service samba-service-type (samba-configuration
                             (enable-smbd? #t)
                             (config-file (plain-file "smb.conf" "\
                [global]
                map to guest = Bad User
                logging = syslog@1

                [public]
                browsable = yes
                path = /public
                read only = no
                guest ok = yes
                guest only = yes\n")))))


2.
Do I have to create a folder /public?
or will it be created by
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm?

3.
later I have to do a:

‘chmod -R 777 /public’

(if first the config.scm can be updated
and the "/public" folder is created)


thanks

Gottfried

Hi Gottfried,

I think so.  I have something similar [1] except it also enables the
older NT1 protocol---but haven't use the share in a while.

Just make sure the /public folder exists and is writable as needed.

Kind regards
Felix
