Hi list, Is it possible to deploy a domain in the cloud with Samba? My goal is to have it hosted somewhere on a VPS, and have users connect to it from their homes. I can setup a VPN if needed, but I'd love if it was a natively supported solution? I'd be interested in hosting it at Digital Ocean, if the provider matters.

I run a DC in the cloud for my mail server. Just don't use VM snapshotting and you'll be fine :) Also make sure your firewall is properly configured so you don't accidentally open access to your DC to the world.

So I'm hearing this is not a good idea for what I asked. Understood, thank you for your input :) On Tue, Apr 21, 2020 at 1:08 AM Alex MacCuish via samba < samba at lists.samba.org> wrote:> I run a DC in the cloud for my mail server.
