Cannot be discovered by Time Machine

[SuperShinyEyes]

Hi,

I'm running the docker and I can mount the shared folders but Time Machine cannot discover the disk. Is there any additional setup I should do?

@YoungxHelsinki Good question, it looks like Apple supports Samba volumes for use with Time Machine backup as of OSX Sierra and later. You may have to run the following on your mac (as an administrator I believe):

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

If that doesn't work, I can investigate further. It's possible to have Avahi daemon expose the volume as a time capsule device. Another solution, albeit less efficient, is creating a "sparse bundle" virtual disk image on the network volume and using that as your time capsule volume.

Thank you for the reply. I'm currently testing Netatalk2 and 3. I will try this later and share it here. Is there a reason why you chose Samba over Netatalk? I know that Apple is leaning towards Samba but is it more stable than Netatalk?

I'm intending to deploy a Linux Time Capsule for 50 clients. Currently Netatalk2 can handle 5 clients. I'd be very happy to hear your expertise.
