For Windows 10 + 11 you need to use the username/password: slms because of how Windows works.
Important!
Storage on this is not backed up, your files can and will be deleted at random.
Thanks to Yaz
Many thanks to @ylatef for the donation of the Raspberry Pi and SSD this is now running on, and for setting this up.
Info for Techs
Going forward if it would be useful we can probably setup some read only public storage for the techs if they’d like a place to drop things, rather than the current setup of putting them in the top level folder and hoping for the best.
This section is for the purpose of updating a bunch of old posts which are no longer editable, or not mine:
I would argue we should wipe the storage on a periodic basis to make this abundantly clear. It will also avoid crap accumulating.
Something else that might be nice is creating folders for every member automatically. We obviously don’t have any access control on it but at least having folders already there encourages people to keep their files tidy.
Folders for every member would be lovely, but requires access to an API that we don’t have right now, I’ve written one that could be used by members for stuff like this, but it needs testing as it was done in the blind, and it requires directors to give me or someone access to install it.
Can we clear the contents of all folders. and leave the folders at root. that way the organisation is already there for people that already use it but we don’t need to populate all 700 folders. Maybe top level readme with retention policy and a Users DIR
I really want to avoid the heartache for folks when something happens and the drive disappears, even for tech documents. We’ve used discourse and tool pages or tech areas for that in the past. Storage folks rely on really needs to be backed up, versioned, etc
I can’t connect to either NAS this morning, it seems x.x Not sure if I can do anything, as I can’t see the new pi on the network or access the cabinet =T
Hmm, I might be doing something wrong? Should it be http://nas.space.southlondonmakerspace.org in browser and smb://nas.space.southlondonmakerspace.org in file explorer?
So I’ve tried off the 3DPrinting laptop and my home laptop with no avail, but haven’t had a chance to fiddle DNS on either yet. Will have a look on mine and see if I have any luck, but am bouncing between a few things so may take a while
IP works on my laptop for SSH and SMB, HTTP redirects to the FQDN which fails. On the 3DPrint laptop, ssh stalls, trying to connect via smb in Files gets a Connection Timeout regardless with FQDN or with IP. So possibly it’s a DNS issue on my laptop, and then a separate issue for the 3dPrint laptop?
