I love NixOS for this. It's a few lines of Nix config to set up samba sharing for a directory + a .local domain for discoverability.

Can you share a link?

This is my Samba config https://gist.github.com/benpye/34b3a788d90c259528885943029d0... . I've also got it configured so that ZFS snapshots are visible in file history. I use this most for storing my Lightroom catalogue, and then have B2 backups setup from the home server as well.
