If i use "sudo apt remove samba" i will lost all my shares and users? Is it possible avoid that and use something like "sudo apt get update samba" and keep all my settings?

You can only use the latest version supplied by Fedora 27. Have you done an OS update?

The command you listed is for Ubuntu, not Fedora. When you do OS updates, all settings will be preserved.

If Fedora 27 does not have Samba 4.8 or newer, there is nothing more you can do. Until we release Amahi 12 on Fedora 32, there is not much you can do to update Samba. Amahi 11 only works on Fedora 27.

Thanx for quick answer. I have latest OS installed. (((((
Before we close that request, little explanation,
I need Samba 4.8.x or newer to host a TimeCapsule on Amahi, its possible in two way, Samba or Netatalk, but Samba must be 4.8.x or newer.
Thanx again and have a nice day!

Fedora 27 does not support Samba 4.8 so you cannot use TimeCapsule with Amahi 11.

Sorry, but nothing can be done to help with your request.

Until we release Amahi 12 on Fedora 32

Do you have any clue, then ?

We don’t have an estimate yet for release of Amahi 12.

Might be another 2 or 3months as we only have one developer.

There’s a lot to do for it to be production ready.

Sorry but it won’t be anytime soon.

Sorry I didn't think of this sooner. Time Machine and Time Capsule are the same thing I believe, correct?

I presume the Amahi-time-machine App is what you want to install.

Eeeee, "Updated almost 4 years ago" Actualy no, thanks, its outdated and i do not pay for a dead horse.
Samba 4.8 have "Time Machine Support with vfs_fruit
-----------------------------------

Samba can be configured as a Time Machine target for Apple Mac devices
through the vfs_fruit module. When enabling a share for Time Machine
support the relevant Avahi records to support discovery will be published
for installations that have been built against the Avahi client library.

Shares can be designated as a Time Machine share with the following setting:

'fruit:time machine = yes'
"
That's it, its done,

Understand.
