...e shares. M$ upset the applecart last year with their 1803 update when joining NT4 domains got broken (it has since been fixed since September '18, but I would assume the writing is on the wall for NT4 domains). To get round the issue I loaded samba into docker using the https://github.com/Fmstrat/samba-domain container. I wanted to continue to use the ClearOS samba configuration (v4.7.1 and soon to follow Centos to 4.8.3) for its file-sharing as a domain member. One of the problems I had was that if the native ClearOS instance of samba was started, the docker instance would refuse to st...

...integrated with OpenLDAP including a few schema additions. Really the only feasible stage to do an upgrade would be when they change to 8.x. Even then, the easiest route would be to keep going with the current file server set up and run an AD/DC in docker with something like https://github.com/Fmstrat/samba-domain then join the server to the docker domain. You would hate this as it you strongly recommend (for understandable reasons) keeping an AD/DC on a separate machine. Unfortunately the ClearOS concept was for an all-in-one box acting as a router and server. Thankfully I am not a system...

...ontainers require less resources and are easier to update than multiple linux systems ? and I want to spend some of the savings into redundancy (multiple DCs, also distributed to serve different locations). Googling around I found several containers on github/dockerhub, e.g. <https://github.com/Fmstrat/samba-domain> https://github.com/Fmstrat/samba-domain (ubuntu with openvpn), <https://hub.docker.com/r/instantlinux/samba-dc> https://hub.docker.com/r/instantlinux/samba-dc , https://hub.docker.com/r/laslabs/alpine-samba-dc (both alpine), and very likely more. But what is really an ade...

I am using Samba as a simple file server but I cannot browse its shares in Windows Explorer. I do not use SMB1. Am I missing a trick or is it not possible without SMB1? I am using ClearOS7 with the Centos7 4.10.4 samba package. My cut down configs (with most of the shares removed) are: [root at server ~]# testparm -s Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf NOTE: Service homes is
