An example project with TypeScript, Babel and Express for connecting to an SMB shared directory.

• smbclient (on Linux) or Docker (on macOS/Windows)
• Node.js

npm i

npm run type-check

npm t

npm run build:js

Built code will be put in dist folder.

Build JavaScript code, then run:

node dist

npm start

Build the Docker image:

npm run docker-build

Once the image is built, run:

npm run docker-start

The Docker image must be rebuilt on code changes!

Build the Docker image:

npm run docker-build-dev

Once the image is built, run:

npm run docker-start-dev

or (for "watch" mode):

npm run docker-watch

The Docker image can be reused on code changes (the repository is mounted as a volume).

Build the Docker image:

npm run docker-build-dev

Once the image is built, run:

npm run docker-bash

Build the Docker image:

npm run docker-build-dev

Once the image is built, run:

npm run docker-start-privileged-dev

That will run the Docker image with the --privileged option, needed when mounting remote file systems in containers.

Then, mount SMB storage by executing mountSMBfs.sh script (set environment variables first, see .env.sample):

sh mountSMBfs.sh

SMB storage will be mounted to /mnt/smbstorage.
