    I’m fooling around with a few samba AD docker containers. I ask because I’ve phased almost everything else out of my lab environment.

      The problem with Samba AD in a container or Samba in container is that Samba isn’t designed to be run in a temporary environment. You could run it in a LXC container but anything beyond that will break things in the short or long term.

        I figured you could get around some of the storage limitations with something like persistent volume claims. I’m testing it out at the moment. I am a big fan of LXC.

        I see a few people have created docker Samba Containers and I’m giving them a whirl. Can’t say much for stability but I think it’s an interesting experiment.

        I know in the past smb server didn’t work in LXC containers because certain kernel modules caused conflicts.

        A man can dream.
