Raspberry Pi - File Server (NAS)

By KimWorks

0 Comments

This is to set up a simple NAS to store backups and some files using some parts lying around. I can't really call this "NAS" though -- It's just a RPi + External USB HDDs, running Samba.

Materials

RPi Zero W
Powered USB Hub, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005P2BY5I/
1TB 2.5" HDD x 2
2.5" USB HDD enclosure x 2

Note

Tried RPi Zero + USB Wifi dongle. Not enough power. Replaced with Zero W.
RPi will be powered from the USB Hub.

I found this combination is the most cost effective. Powered HDD enclosure is more expensive.

Setup

Download and install Raspbian stretch lite, https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ on microSD, and go through the usual setup process running 'raspi-cnofig'

! WARNING ! don't change the password until localization and keyboard are all set. Otherwise your password may not work after changing localization/keyboard if any non-alphanumeric character is used.
Configure to use SSHD, disable all unused s/w and interfaces. (e.g. VNC, 1-wire, camera, etc)

Install samba, and configure this file as needed: /etc/samba/smbd.conf

Optional: installed tree, screen, lighthttpd

Note on Samba

Samba 4 will be installed. Samba4 does not have any GUI (e.g. SWAT) to help to configure. There is no alternatives either.

Some Note to Self

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin tree screen lighttpd

vi /etc/samba/smbd.conf

sudo smbpasswd -a pi

sudo smbpasswd -a kimworks

* fstab entries for USB HDD:

LABEL=NAS1 /mnt/nas1 auto nofail,user,noatime 0 0

LABEL=NAS2 /mnt/nas2 auto nofail,user,noatime 0 0

* /etc/samba/smbd.conf -- added lines:

[share]

Comment = public share

Path = /mnt/nas1/share

Browseable = yes

Writeable = yes

only guest = no

create mask = 0777

directory mask = 0777

Public = yes

Guest ok = yes

[NAS2]

path = /mnt/nas2

read only = no

writeable = yes

browseable = yes

valid users = kimworks

create mask = 0640

directory mask = 0750
