Container enter infinite restart loop upon start

[aaraujo666]

When starting the container, it keeps restarting in an infinite loop (--restart always). Without the --restart always, it just exits with error code 1.

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. docker run -d --network host -p 445:445 -v "/docker-data/samba:/data" --name samba --restart always crazymax/samba

root@cetus:/# cat /docker-data/samba/config.yml
auth:

• user: nobody
  group: nobody
  uid: 1000
  gid: 1000
  password: nobody

global:

• "force user = nobody"
• "force group = nobody"

share:

• name: centauri
  comment: centauri
  path: /nfs/centauri
  browsable: yes
  readonly: no
  guestok: yes
  veto: no
  recycle: no
• name: magellan
  path: /nfs/magellan
  browsable: yes
  readonly: no
  guestok: yes
  veto: no
  recycle: no
• name: orion
  path: /nfs/orion
  browsable: yes
  readonly: no
  guestok: yes
  veto: no
  recycle: no

Expected behaviour

3 shares: magellan, centauri and orion should be available

Actual behaviour

Container continuously restarts

same here. happened out of the blue and not sure what is going on. in for the updates.

EDIT: blew away the cache and lib folders and redeployed. All working now as expected!

Thanks for this, fixed mine up too

[crazy-max]

Maybe that was an unexpected db migration that broke smbd.

[mousemat86]

I'm seeing similar behaviour with this container but removing cache and lib isn't helping, it just hangs. any ideas?

[Retrograde-i486]

I had that happen 2 nights ago when I rebuilt my docker host. Usually deleting the cache and lib folders fixes it like you tried but not this time for me either. I ended up recreating the data and scans folder as my username rather than having root owning them and it started working.

[mousemat86]

thanks but unfortunately I already tried that approach and that hasn't worked either. think it's a permsissions issue somewhere just can't find it

[mousemat86]

finally got it working this morning. permissions of lib/ and cache/ needed to be root:user 755 which for some reason they weren't when the container was first started up. any idea why that happened? should the container a PUID/PGID set in the environment?

[Retrograde-i486]

Yeah mine are set to root:root but 755 and it's working, my config.yml in the same folder is owned by me and that seems to be working as well.
