Instructions for a not so experienced user

[mauriva]

I am trying to create my own Samba container from your image, but some things on the instruction page are not clear to me, especially the user management.
(forgive the trivial questions!)

1. In the config.yml file there is the possibility of using a file for the user's password (password_file: /run/secrets/baz_password). In this case, the relevant secrets commands in the docker-compose.yml file is no missing?
   I am referring to this page in the official documentation, especially the section 'Use Secrets in Compose'.
2. The users specified in the config.yml file must also be users of the host system and have the appropriate permissions to access the files to be shared as in a "normal" Samba installation, is that correct?

If you talk about

docker-samba/examples/compose/data/config.yml

Line 11 in de6120b

password_file: /run/secrets/baz_password

, indeed we forgot to add the secret in the compose file.

Yes
