Hi all, this is my first NextCloud install.
I have NextCloud installed on a Ubuntu 20 machine via SNAP.
NextCloud is working 100% ok.
I have some pictures on a remote machine I want to serve with NextCloud without facing the risk that these pictures gets deleted or edited by NextCloud so I setup a samba server on a remote machine with a read only share being served so I can enforce that no samba client will be able to delete or edit my files even if it gets compromised.
Then I mapped this samba share in my NextCloud machine so these pictures are available at /media/pictures.
I got this working adding a line to my /etc/fstab:
//192.168.10.10/fotos /media/pictures cifs user=xxxx,password=xxx,_netdev,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0
So far so good. All files can be reached from NextCloud server command line.
Then I ran
sudo snap connect nextcloud:removable-media
Then I went to NextCloud / Settings / Administration / External Storage and added a new item as follows:
Folder name: Pics / External Storage: Local / Authenthication: none / Configuration: /media/pictures / Available to: my user.
So I got the green tick.
Now the folder shows up on my Files section on NextCloud but when I click on that no files or subdirectories from my folder shows. All empty.
I tried mounting my share forcing uid:1000/gid:1000 and nothing changed
//192.168.10.10/fotos /media/pictures cifs user=xxxx,password=xxx,_netdev,uid=1000,gid=1000,forceuid,forcegid,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0
I also tried mouting my share forcing user and group to www-data and nothing changed either.
//192.168.10.10/fotos /media/pictures cifs user=xxxx,password=xxx,_netdev,uid=www-data,gid=www-data,forceuid,forcegid,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0
What am I missing here? How to accomplish that?
kind regards
