Share a folder in my LAN

English Network/Internet
1

Hello,
i need a suggestion about file sharing. I always used Samba, but don’t know if is the correct method with Micro OS.
Tried smb with podman (not know containers very well) but seem i can’t use privileged ports rootless. I tried to install it to the system, but i messed my home folder with SELinuix permissions… Samba was working, but was usable to login with SDDM.

Should i use NFS? Install the server and client in every machine? (1 pc, 2 laptops all linux).
Or is better a container for leave the system untouched?

@Gluca Since ssh service is present, just use sshfs, or if you open the filemanager you should be able to connect over sftp…

Yes, was looking at rsync. Never used it, maybe i can create a service for auto sync every day.

@Gluca yes, a user systemd service and a timer, assuming it’s the user files to backup.
