Can't rename/move/delete files over SMB on macOS Ventura

[rowatt]

Behaviour

I have set up the container on an Intel Mac (macOS Ventura 13.2), and I am able to share a folder (public) to other macs on the network. However, while a client (macOS 13.2 or macOS 10.15) can mount and write to files, they cannot move or rename files (in Finder or from terminal) and when copying files from Finder, an error is generated resulting in a zero bytes file of the correct name (which can subsequently be opened and written to).

If I have the shared folder within the docker container itself, then the share works as expected and I can rename/move/delete files as expected.

Is this container expected to work when running on a macOS host?

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. start Docker container on server
2. mount share public on client mac
3. go to /Volumes/public in terminal on client mac
4. touch test.txt; mv test.txt test2.txt

Expected behaviour

File test2.txt should be created in public share.

Actual behaviour

File test.txt is created and error given:
mv: rename test.txt to test2.txt: Operation not supported

Configuration

• Docker version (type docker --version) : Docker version 20.10.22, build 3a2c30b
• Docker compose version if applicable (type docker-compose --version) : Docker Compose version v2.15.1
• Platform (Debian 9, Ubuntu 18.04, ...) : macOS Ventura 13.2
• System info (type uname -a) : Darwin 22.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 22.3.0: Thu Jan 5 20:53:49 PST 2023; root:xnu-8792.81.2~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
• Include all necessary configuration files : docker-compose.yml, .env, ...

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.5'
services:
  samba:
    image: crazymax/samba 
    container_name: samba
    ports:
      - 139:139
      - 445:445
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./public:/samba/public
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - SAMBA_LOG_LEVEL=1
    restart: always

config.yml:

auth:
  - user: mark
    group: mark    
    uid: 501
    gid: 501
    password: test

global:
  - "log level = 3"
  - "fruit:aapl = yes"
  - "fruit:resource = xattr"
  - "fruit:nfs_aces = no"
  - "min protocol = SMB2_10"
  - "max protocol = SMB2_10"
  - "ea support = yes"

share:
  - name: public
    path: /samba/public
    browsable: yes
    readonly: no
    guestok: no
    writelist: mark

• Admin user account on server mac is mark uid 501.
• Same results with protocol = SMB3_11

Hello! Were you able to solve this?

No. In the end I installed SMB directly via Homebrew which has worked great, and much more reliable than native macOS file sharing had ever been for me.
