SMB

Install SMB

sudo dnf install samba
sudo systemctl enable smb --now
firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=FedoraServer --add-service=samba
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Create SMB User

# Add a linux user
sudo adduser --no-create-home --disabled-password --disabled-login sambauser

# Add the samba user with password
sudo smbpasswd -a sambauser

# Create share
mkdir /srv/smb/sambauser

# Set proper selinux labels for samba
sudo semanage fcontext --add --type "samba_share_t" "/srv/smb(/.*)?"

# Run restorecon at the root of the btrfs subvolume
sudo restorecon -R /srv

Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf

[smb_sambauser]
        comment = My Share
        path = /srv/smb/sambauser
        writeable = yes
        browseable = yes
        public = no
        create mask = 0644
        directory mask = 0755
        write list = user

Then restart SMB

sudo systemctl restart smb

sudo groupadd myfamily
sudo useradd -G myfamily jack
sudo useradd -G myfamily maria

sudo smbpasswd -a jack
sudo smbpasswd -a maria

sudo mkdir /home/share
sudo chgrp myfamily /home/share
sudo chmod 770 /home/share
sudo semanage fcontext --add --type "samba_share_t" "/home/share(/.*)?"
sudo restorecon -R /home/share

[family]
        comment = Family Share
        path = /home/share
        writeable = yes
        browseable = yes
        public = yes
        valid users = @myfamily
        create mask = 0660
        directory mask = 0770
        force group = +myfamily

valid users: only users of the group family have access rights. The @ denotes a group name.
force group = +myfamily: files and directories are created with this group, instead of the user group.
create mask = 0660: files in the share are created with permissions to allow all group users to read and write files created by other users.
directory mask = 0770: as before, but for directories.

Don't forget to restart smb

systemctl restart smb

Make sure your install cifs-utils: dnf install cifs-utils

Create a password file at /etc/samba/credentials with contents like

username=USERNAME
password=PASSWORD

Then edit /etc/fstab to mount the share

# With login
//server_name/share_name /local_mount_point cifs _netdev,nofail,uid=1001,gid=1001,credentials=/etc/samba/credentials 0 0

# As guest
//server_name/share_name /local_mount_point cifs _netdev,nofail,guest 0 0
