I wanted to know if there is a way to use an SMB share as the primary server storage location. Say I install an instance of a minecraft server, can I use an SMB share as the primary location under /mnt/instances or what have you.
Would this essentially be a case of mounting the SMB share using the operating system then pointing all the storage to that directory or do I need to do any additional configuration.
Have you done any testing on this? About to set up an instance and was looking for tips.
I was actually waiting on testing this until I got official confirmation that its something that is supported.
It appears to be something that can be handled using a standard Linux mount. You would need to use a mount command then set it up to auto connect using a service of some kind, systemctl in my case. Then you can create a virtual directory, and connect it to whichever service you need.
That was just from a quick check though, and I am not sure how well it will function over SMB so its worth messing around with different protocols I think.
Thanks, ima going to go through the process of breaking my server testing things then. Either throughout the week or this upcoming weekend. Ill let you know respond any issues I find. Smb is just the easiest way I know for proxmox since my jellyfin uses it.
SMB/CIFS shares cannot be used as AMP instance storage locations because they don’t handle filesystem permissions properly. You can use NFS or iSCSI though.
