I want to install samba, but apt install samba gives "Package 'samba' has no installation candidate", I did apt update but it didn't help. I checked repositories and there is only linuxcnc.org. Should I have also Debian repositories or not? How to install samba?

Also do I need: "download.opensuse.org/repositories/science:/EtherLab/Debian_12/"? What is it for? It gives an error on apt update:
"Get:1 download.opensuse.org/repositories/science:/EtherLab/Debian_12 ./ InRelease [1,575 B]
Err:1 download.opensuse.org/repositories/science:/EtherLab/Debian_12 ./ InRelease

You only need the Ethercat repos if you are going to use Ethercat .
Debian sources

I'd thought I'd add samba and windows can be a PITA to setup.
As the underlying OS is Debian bookworm, any guides or how-tos that cover installing samba on Debian will be far far better than asking here.
I would also install gvfs-backends and gvfs-fuse as well. Samba-vfs-modules might be an idea as well.

The roadblocks with samba are all on the Windows side. You need to add a policy that permits the older version of SMB ptotocol.
