Every now and then my Samba share stops working.

$ smbclient -U sambauser '\\192.168.12.11\Apartment'
do_connect: Connection to 192.168.12.11 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

This is incredibly annoying, since it happens somewhat frequently too. I restart the container, with no fix. It might be client-side, but I'm boggled by how that could even occur. There are no logs in systemd for smbd. The firewall is disabled.

/etc/samba/smb.conf: https://pastebin.com/HNgw8YcV

I'm going to need a lot more to help you

What do the logs say? What version of Samba are you running? What is in between you and the file server?
