Cannot use UID and GID of a host user about samba HOT 1 CLOSED

yeah you're right in your example user mark gets 1000 as uid and gid - I think that specifing UID_mark is unnessecary since the first user gets 1000 anyways.

take a look at your configuration - you use the pi user with it's default group pi -> 1000:1000
and you create your user mark inside the container with his default group -> 1000:1000

and then you specify a group with a groupid collision - this doesn't make sense

my recommendation:

• create a group on host and inside the container - those should share the same group id
• if user pi needs also group access, ad him to this new group

keep in mind, groups are for grouping! and user groups are user groups - I would not advice to use them for grouping together multiple users.

also you might want to fix the group permissions on the share - it seems to me, that it doesn't make sense to have the folders group set to a users group if you want multiple users to have access to it
