Ability to use shared directories (network, Windows share, Samba protocol, etc.)

[AnthonyProData]

Feature description

In various projects, third parties may generate files for various reasons. Today, this processing is carried out by dropping files onto shared directories (using various protocols, including Windows sharing, Samba, etc.). It would be interesting to have a feature that would allow us to launch Kestra as soon as we receive a file in this directory, but also to be able to retrieve the file in order to process it.

I hope I've gone into enough detail here.

have you tried the FTP/SFTP file detection trigger? if not, can you share more what shared NFS do you want to integrate with? we can certainly add a new file detection trigger e.g. for Samba, or you could also contribute based on https://github.com/kestra-io/plugin-fs

as I understand on slack, it's about CIFS support (protocol behind samba and windows share), we add support possible on plugin-fs since it's available on sandbox on the libs we are using

Thank you for your responsiveness.

I've just checked with my customer and it's true that the Samba protocol is used. Sorry, but I have one more question.

Will the share folder be accessible from Kestra, which is running on a Docker? If I'm not mistaken, the folder must be mapped in the Yaml docker-compose file when the container is installed so that it can be accessed from inside a container. Once mapped, do I have to modify my docker-compose? If necessary, I can create a recipe for this update.

it's the first it's will be more like our sftp plugins, that will download all files remotely in a Kestra tasks, so no need to mount anything, it will be accessible over the network

Ah, I can't wait to test this functionality!
