The Folder Can't be Found OSX

[simonsez]

Hello,

I'm having some difficulty connecting to the volume from my OSX host OS.

cifs://192.168.59.103/data results in "The folder can't be found"

When running

Simons-MacBook-Air-1130:source simon$ docker run -v /data --name data busybox true

and then

Simons-MacBook-Air-1130:source simon$ docker run --rm -v /usr/local/bin/docker:/docker -v /var/run/docker.sock:/docker.sock -e localstubsource svendowideit/samba data 
true

Is samba not running in the container?

sorry, I will clean this output up today - that log looks like everything is fine - you can do a docker top <container> to see if samba is running - I suspect it is.

to be sure - id 192.168.59.103 the ip returened by boot2docker ip ?

Hmm you are spot on:

Simons-MacBook-Air-1130:Downloads simon$ docker top samba-server
PID                 USER                COMMAND
7336                root                {setup.sh} /bin/bash /setup.sh --start data /data
7360                root                /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
7363                root                /usr/sbin/smbd -D
7364                root                tail -f /var/log/samba/cores /var/log/samba/log.nmbd /var/log/samba/log.smbd
7366                root                /usr/sbin/smbd -D

And yes

Simons-MacBook-Air-1130:Downloads simon$ boot2docker ip
The VM's Host only interface IP address is: 192.168.59.103

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

I've made an update to that container that paints a more positive picture :)
