How to mount external share folder

[g.giordano]

Hi all,
I want to mount external share folder on filemanager , the share is configured on qnap ,
I have try trhis command

sudo docker exec egroupware /usr/share/egroupware/filemanager/cli.php --user dino --password xxxxx mount smb://polizzi:xxxxxx@10.0.0.126/dati/ /var/lib/egroupware/default/files/dati/

but I receive this error:

cli mount (long=0, numeric=0, recursive=0) smb://polizzi:xxxxx@10.0.0.126/dati/ /var/lib/egroupware/default/files/dati/
mount: no such file or directory!
cli smb://polizzi:xxxxxx-1@10.0.0.126/dati/ (long=0, numeric=0, recursive=0) /var/lib/egroupware/default/files/dati/

share access data
share ip: 10.0.0.126
share name : dati
user: polizzi
password: xxxxxx

root_admin
user: dino
password: xxxxx

Wich the correct command for mounting network share folder?
Can you help me?

sudo docker exec egroupware /usr/share/egroupware/filemanager/cli.php --user dino --password xxxxx mount smb://polizzi:xxxxxx@10.0.0.126/dati/ /var/lib/egroupware/default/files/dati/

You mount into EGroupware virtual file system, NOT the host file system:

sudo docker exec egroupware /usr/share/egroupware/filemanager/cli.php --user dino --password xxxxx mount smb://polizzi:xxxxxx@10.0.0.126/dati  /home/dino/dati

The above will access the smb-share as user polizzi with password xxx and mounts using EGroupware user dino, who must have root rights / be listed for root in setup. Alternativ use --user root_admin --password <password-of-setup-user-admin>.

If the smb share is accessible for every EGroupware user with the same password as used in EGroupware, then it makes more sense to use smb://$user:$password@.... which will use the users own identify to access the share.

Stefan just published a new German tutorial about that topic:

Mounten von Verzeichnissen/Freigaben im EGroupware-Dateimanager

Dieser Artikel ist nicht perfekt und auch nicht fertig. Bei Fragen oder Problemen bitte im Forum ein Thema auf machen. Hinweise, Kommentare oder Beispiele gerne hier im Forum. In das virtuelle Dateisystem (VFS) von EGroupware/Dateimanager können “externe” Verzeichnisse gemounted und verwendet werden. Anwendungsbeispiele: Home-Verzeichnis von Fileserver/Domaincontroller => Home-Verzeichnis EGw-Benutzer Abteilungsverzeichnis Fileserver => EGw-Gruppen-Verzeichnis Verzeichnisse vom Familien-NAS …

Which I will also translate.
It is not quite finished yet and may still contain errors, but I have described your task there.

Hi,
I have another issue , where do I find the user root_admin? It’s the same /var/lib/egroupware/egroupware-docker-install.log ?
Tks

[RalfBecker]

where do I find the user root_admin?

It’s the same /var/lib/egroupware/egroupware-docker-install.log ?

Yes, the root_ prefix only specifies, that it’s the setup user, which you find in the password in egroupwre-docker-install.log.

Thanks for the “hint”
I have now linked the FAQ in the tutorial.

For you the English version:

Where do I find the admin credentials after installation?
