maxify-smbv1

Samba v1 image for Canon Maxify scanners

Motivation

Canon Maxify MFPs like the Maxify MB5150 have a excellent duplex scanning engine, but are - beside sending eMails - limited to store scans on SMB v1 shares. This is no longer supported in modern OS.

To use these devices to scan directly to DMS like paperless-ngx: Here is what you are looking for.

Environment variables / configuration

• NETBIOS_NAME: The Netbios name of the samba server, defaults to MAXIFYSMBV1
• WORKGROUP: The samba workgroup, defaults to WORKGROUP
• SHARE1: The name of the first share. Defaults to SHARE1. Files will be stored in /media/NAME_OF_THE_SHARE
• SHARE1_COMMENT: The samba comment for the share
• SHARE2: The name of the second share. Defaults to SHARE2. Files will be stored in /media/NAME_OF_THE_SHARE
• SHARE2_COMMENT: The second share comment

docker-compose.yml

Sample showing how to use as a consume directory for paperless

maxify-smbv1:
    image: ghcr.io/mhelff/maxify-smbv1:latest
    ports:
      - 139:139
    restart: unless-stopped   
    environment:
      - NETBIOS_NAME=paperless_smb
      - WORKGROUP=YOURWORKGROUP
      - SHARE1=consume
      - SHARE1_COMMENT="Paperless consume smbv1 share"
    volumes:
      - ./data/paperless/consume:/media/consume:rw
      # the default share path of second share, uncomment if needed
      # - ./data/somefolder:/media/SHARE2:rw

Security

There is none. This container is build to have the easiest possible way to scan from a Canon Maxify MFP to your network. Make sure it is not accessible from outside. Also keep in mind that the Samba version is (has to be) quite old and is no longer maintained. Use at your own risk.

Special thanks

This container is heavily inspired by luizoti/docker-smb
