Installing DietPi NAS Server [SAMBA]

Logging to SSH: For First Time

Default Username : root
Default Password : dietpi

Once, we connected to the DietPi then it requires us to change the Root Password and Unix Password.
I recommend you put the same password in both places.
After you logged in to DietPi, then you need to type a command to access the dietpi-software.
This command will open the DietPi Launcher, for us and from here we need to select Software Optimized and press OK.

Now, we need to navigate to Samba: Feature-rich FIle Server and press Spacebar to select it and press ok or Enter from the Keyboard.

Now, we need to navigate to Install and press OK. After that installation will take around 5-10 min to complete the setup.

Once the setup completes the system will reboot to finalize the settings and you are ready to use your DietPi Samba Server Image.

In my case \\192.168.1.73

Default Password : dietpi

Change Samba password

 smbpasswd -a dietpi
