Apple removed AFP support in macOS 27 (and removed SMB1 support from macOS a long time ago). This is a modern Samba setup that runs directly on the Time Capsule itself; macOS 27 can connect to the Time Capsule as a network share, and use it for Time Machine backups. This project has 2 parts: a fork of Samba 4, modified to work on the Apple Time Capsule the installers for the Samba binary, via python or the macOS GUI app. This now fully works for all Time Capsules. The Time Capsule will run its own Samba 4.24.3 server, advertise itself over Bonjour (show up automatically in the “Network” folder on macOS), and accept authenticated SMB3 connections. You should then be able to open Finder, choose Connect to Server, and use a normal SMB URL instead of relying on Apple’s legacy stack. I can’t speak…
