samba - Aug 2018 - Louis' Debian install notes/Ubuntu 18.04 howto now on github.

But these are online for almost a year now...  ;-) 

https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/tree/master/howtos 

The only thing is these are not useing "my" builded packages but the
original debians.
I'll update these somewhere today or next week also with the 4.8 parts
added.

Basicly its, follow the howtos until you need to install samba.
And just before that, run this. 

echo "deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian stretch-samba48 main contrib
non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list
wget -O - http://apt.van-belle.nl/louis-van-belle.gpg-key.asc | apt-key add -
apt update -y
apt-cache policy samba # to check it. 

And this line:
> > Its online, i suggest, install 2 servers,  
Was not finished. 
i suggest, install 2 servers, for a test.

Do you own samba install, on you preffered linux os, does not matter, what you
want.
Now, install also a server by following my howtos from the start.

Run some test, i'll bet, you wil notice my setup is running smoother, not
only samba but your whole system.
Try it, and if you find improvements, post them/change-add the on github.

They certainly are, just a 'bit' hidden and because I know what I am
doing, I forgot about them ;-)

The thing is, just how basic does a howto have to be ?
If you can install an OS, you should be able to follow the Samba wiki
and, as I keep saying, if you do not understand something, say so and
I will try to alter it, so you do.

I don't know if you are aware, but Samba is moving to git-lab instead
of git-hub

Yes, i know, i already have my accounts there and i've also created my
account on debain salsa.
I made a few small changes for debian already, but i really need to improve my
skills with gitlab.
I just need to use these more, i was just getting a little familiar with
github... :-/

First thank you for doing this. I've been trying to get samba-as-dc to 
work on 18.04 for some time and this will certainly help

I do have a couple of questions.

the git-hub directions say to:

> save,exit.
Do you mean to create a file /etc/systemd/resolv.conf or did you 
actually mean edit /etc/systemd/resolvd.conf which is part of the Ubuntu 
install?

Finally I notice you use bind9, will this method mostly work with the 
internal dns in samba, even is if is not as efficient?
