@frenck - Trying not to be a bother - but I did want to follow up on the status of this PR as it stands today, and path forward for it. In the end, I am mainly looking for some updated direction for keeping this moving, when you have a few min to review.

If the larger philosophical conversation on what to enable up front is still ongoing, happy to circle back to it, and look to make adjustments to accommodate - but I would like to confirm that before making that type of structural change to the PR.

If there are other changes desired, let me know. If you would prefer I follow up with someone else for a review before doing another round of review directly, let me know.

While I don't want it to languish, I also realize the general priority for this PR (or lack thereof) - so, any time in the next few weeks that works for you (I will ping back if no response in the next two weeks or so)


If others have feedback or would like to discuss more generally, also more than happy to dig in on that (@Eskander , tagging you because you had provided some comments earlier, in case you have ongoing or other feedback)

laundmo commented Oct 7, 2024

Hey there. I didn't find this PR in time and made my own version of something similar but a lot more flexible.

My version allows full customization of which shares are accessible by which user of multiple, and also allows removing shares entirely. Sadly, lists of objects aren't formatted nicely by the home assistant add-on options page.

I wanted to throw this out there as a potential option. I'm willing to collaborate with you @as-kholin on this, if home-assistant devs think this could be a viable way forward.

I did this for the following advantages:

  • multiple users
  • custom shares which aren't preconfigured
  • deny users access to certain shares

As you can see, the core idea is to have 2 lists: users and shares. The shares list contains a deny list per share, which denies certain users access (by not adding them to smb.conf "valid users" for that share).

I hope you consider whether this could be a way forward, as it offers significant advantages over the simple list of enabled shares. I will link my fork of this repo shortly, so you can see and compare.

samba/config.yaml (2)

56-57: enabled_shares schema ensures valid configurations.

The regex pattern effectively validates the share names, ensuring only the predefined options are accepted. The case-insensitive matching is a good usability feature.

For improved readability, consider breaking the regex pattern into multiple lines:

enabled_shares:
  - "match(^(?i:(addons|addon_configs|backup|config|
     media|share|ssl))$)"

This change would make the pattern easier to read and maintain without affecting functionality.


63-63: New debug option added for troubleshooting.

The addition of an optional debug boolean field is a good practice for facilitating troubleshooting.

To enhance usability:

  1. Add a brief comment explaining the purpose and effect of enabling debug mode.
  2. Consider adding documentation that describes how to use this debug option and what additional information it provides when enabled.
samba/translations/en.yaml (1)

14-21: LGTM! Consider minor wording improvement.

The new enabled_shares configuration option aligns well with the PR objectives, allowing users to selectively enable specific folders for sharing. The description is clear and enforces security by restricting to only allowed values.

Consider rewording the phrase "Any you wish to add must be typed" to improve clarity. A suggestion:

-      List of file shares to make available.  Any you wish to add must be typed.
+      List of file shares to make available. Select from the allowed values listed above.
samba/rootfs/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-smbd/run (1)

41-45: LGTM: Debug logging feature added with a security consideration

The new debug logging feature is a valuable addition for troubleshooting. It appropriately checks the 'debug' setting before logging.

Consider adding a warning about potential exposure of sensitive information when debug logging is enabled. You might want to redact or mask sensitive data (like passwords) before logging the configuration.

samba/CHANGELOG.md (1)

2-5: Approve changes with a minor suggestion.

The changelog entry for version 12.4.0 accurately reflects the new features added, which align with the PR objectives. The format is consistent with the rest of the file.

To improve clarity, consider adding a brief explanation of the impact of these changes, especially regarding the ability to enable/disable specific shares.

Consider expanding the first bullet point slightly:

- Add the ability to enable and disable specific shares
+ Add the ability to enable and disable specific shares, improving user control over folder access
samba/DOCS.md (4)

15-18: Improve clarity in step 2.

The new step aligns well with the PR objectives. To enhance clarity:

Consider rewording step 2 as follows:

-2. Review the enabled shares.  Disable any you do not plan to use (they can be re-enabled later)
+2. Review the enabled shares. Disable any shares you do not plan to use. You can re-enable them later if needed.

This change improves readability and maintains a direct, authoritative tone.


44-51: LGTM. Consider adding a brief description.

The new enabled_shares configuration option aligns perfectly with the PR objectives. It provides users with the ability to selectively enable specific folders.

Consider adding a brief description above the list to improve clarity:

enabled_shares:
  # List of shares to enable. Remove or comment out any shares you don't want to be accessible.
  - addons
  - addon_configs
  - backup
  - config
  - media
  - share
  - ssl

This addition would help users understand the purpose of this configuration option at a glance.


79-82: LGTM. Consider expanding the description.

The description for the enabled_shares option is clear and concise. To provide users with more context:

Consider expanding the description as follows:

### Option: `enabled_shares` (required)

List of Samba shares that will be accessible. Only the shares listed here will be exposed by the Samba server. Remove or comment out any shares you don't want to be accessible.

This expanded description provides more context about the option's functionality and aligns with the PR objectives of enhancing user control over shared folders.


102-108: Approve with minor suggestions.

The description for the debug option is informative and aligns with the coding guidelines. Here are some suggestions for improvement:

  1. Address the grammatical issue in line 105:
-know what you would be wanting to do with this information, not necessary.
+know what you want to do with this information, not necessary.
  1. Simplify the last line for consistency with other option descriptions:
-Optional config.  If not defined, then it will default to `false`.
+Defaults to `false`.

These changes will enhance readability and maintain consistency with the rest of the document.

Line range hint 29-118: Consider refactoring share definitions to reduce code duplication

The share definitions for config, addons, addon_configs, ssl, share, backup, and media are largely identical except for the share names and paths. Repeating similar code can lead to maintenance challenges and potential errors in the future. To enhance maintainability and readability, consider iterating over the enabled_shares and dynamically generating the share configurations.

Here's an example of how you might refactor the template:

{{ range $share := .enabled_shares }}
[{{ $share }}]
   browseable = yes
   writeable = yes
   path = /{{ $share }}

   valid users = {{ $.username }}
   force user = root
   force group = root
   veto files = /{{ $.veto_files | join "/" }}/
   delete veto files = {{ if gt (len $.veto_files) 0 }}yes{{ else }}no{{ end }}
{{ end }}

If the share names do not directly correspond to the directory names, you might need to map them accordingly. This approach reduces repetition and simplifies future updates.

samba/config.yaml (4)

2-2: Version update is appropriate.

The version bump from 12.3.2 to 12.4.0 correctly reflects the minor feature additions in this update.


30-37: New enabled_shares option enhances configurability.

The addition of the enabled_shares option aligns well with the PR objectives, allowing users to selectively enable specific folders for sharing. The list comprehensively covers important directories.

Regarding the past comment about using "allow" instead of "enable":
The term "enabled_shares" is clear and consistent with typical configuration terminology. It accurately conveys that these shares are actively made available, which is more precise than "allowed_shares" in this context.


Line range hint 39-43: Improved formatting in veto_files list.

The corrected indentation in the veto_files list enhances readability and maintains consistent formatting throughout the configuration file.


Line range hint 1-63: Overall, these changes significantly enhance the Samba add-on's configurability.

The updates align well with the PR objectives, providing users with more control over shared folders while maintaining security. The new enabled_shares option and corresponding schema validation improve both flexibility and robustness. The addition of a debug option will aid in troubleshooting.

These changes effectively address the issues raised in #3696, #3775, and #3551 by allowing selective folder sharing and improving overall manageability of the Samba add-on.

samba/translations/en.yaml (2)

32-34: LGTM! Valuable debugging option added.

15-16: LGTM: New configuration requirement added

The addition of the enabled_shares configuration requirement aligns with the PR objectives. It ensures that users explicitly specify which folders to share, enhancing security and user control.


35-36: LGTM: Improved configuration generation with case normalization

The addition of ascii_downcase to the enabled_shares values enhances consistency in share names. This is a good practice to prevent potential issues with case-sensitive systems.

To ensure this change doesn't unexpectedly affect existing setups, please run the following verification:

samba/DOCS.md (2)

64-64: LGTM. Debug option added.

The addition of the debug option with a default value of false is a good enhancement. It provides users with the ability to enable additional logging when needed, while keeping it disabled by default for normal operation.


Line range hint 1-134: Overall documentation update is well-executed.

The changes to the Samba share add-on documentation effectively communicate the new configuration options and align well with the PR objectives. The additions of enabled_shares and debug options are clearly explained, enhancing user control over shared folders and providing better debugging capabilities.

The document maintains a consistent style and follows the coding guidelines for the most part. The minor suggestions provided in the previous comments will further improve clarity and consistency.

Great job on updating the documentation to reflect these important changes!

samba/rootfs/usr/share/tempio/smb.gtpl (1)

Line range hint 29-40: Verify the path for the [config] share

The [config] share is set with the path /homeassistant. Please verify that this is the correct path for the Home Assistant configuration directory. Typically, the configuration directory is located at /config. Using an incorrect path might prevent users from accessing the intended files.
