Hi, I've tried running samba from docker compose on ubuntu server with this resource https://hub.docker.com/r/dockurr/samba I changed the default volume from "- ./samba:/storage" to "- /mnt/my_ext_hdd/my_dir/my_subdir" The container deploys fine, but I get permission error when trying to access the shared volume from windows? Anyone with some suggestionshoew to fix? Thanks

The easy way, but not the most secure: identify GID and UID of files created by your samba docker container with "ls -la". Then assign ownership of files and directories of shared volume to that user/group "chown -R GID:UID /path/to/shared”

Do I just enter the container shell and check GID and UID of a random file?
