I have set up a Samba share as an LXC in Proxmox. I have gotten to the point where I can add the network location in file explorer in Windows 10, log in using the user I made in the Samba container (etmain), and can view the contents of the folders I shared. I cannot find a configuration, however, that allows me to write to this folder. I have been messing with /etc/samba/smb.conf, but no matter what I do, Windows will always list the following groups/users in the security tab of the folder: "Everyone", "nogroup (Unix Group\nogroup), and "nobody(SAMBA\nobody)". All of these groups only have "Special Permissions". I would appreciate any insight. Below is a screenshot of the .conf file with the settings I currently have.

I believe that the user nobody and the group nogroup are not owners of directory "PlexMedia", and are related to access masks set on it. The mask 775 means that users or groups other than owners of that directory have reading and executing access, but without writing access. You may set the forced user/group to use to another non-root one that has a password and own this directory. The Samba manual on Arch Wiki may also be referred to for further configurations.☺️
