Installed Cells on Ubuntu 20.04, When I get to the point where to specify the install, I try to point to my SMB share.  
It generates an error that It cannot access.  
So I mounted the SMB share to /media and added to fstab to ensure that it mounts, go through the install again and get to the same point and try to point to the mnt and I still get access denied.  
So I moved to a Windows server. That seems to work, but still generating a cert error.  
Bottom line: I would like to get this on Ubuntu with the right perms to the mnt and the cert error remedied.  
Any info would would be great.

ENV: Windows domain.  
Server: ubuntu server 20.04 added to domain via realm  
Storage: linux servers on domain with SMB share
