Those that I could find had so many issues that I decided to build my own configuration from scratch.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Modern \u0026 secure** configuration based on Samba v4.\n- Easily **upgradable** to a new base OS and new Samba versions.\n- Bullet-proof **networking** with support for:\n  - Forwarding of the AD DNS zone from the main DNS server to the Samba DC.\n  - Forwarding from the Samba DC to the main DNS server.\n  - Dynamic DNS updates of domain members.\n  - Static external IP address (required for domain controllers).\n  - Communication between container and host (normally isolated).\n- Separate containers for the AD domain controller and the file server as recommended by the Samba Wiki.\n- Samba Active Directory can be used as the **central user authentication system** by IAM tools like Authelia for single sign-on (SSO).\n- AD domain **provisioning** and member **join scripts**.\n- All data is stored outside the containers in bind-mounted Docker volumes so that the containers can be re-built at any time.\n- The file server container supports:\n  - POSIX ACLs.\n  - Windows permissions/ACLs.\n    - If used with an unprivileged Docker container, the option `acl_xattr:security_acl_name = user.NTACL` must be set on shares ([docs](https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_acl_xattr.8.html)).\n    - Windows ACLs require the following settings in `smb.conf`:\n      - `vfs objects = acl_xattr`\n      - `acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes`\n      - `map acl inherit = yes`\n  - Access-based enumeration (ABE).\n  - Samba recycle bin.\n\n## Documentation\n\nPlease see my [series of blog posts](https://helgeklein.com/blog/samba-active-directory-in-a-docker-container-installation-guide/) for instructions. The articles explain all aspects of the configuration in detail.-","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhelgeklein%2Fsamba-docker-home-server","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhelgeklein%2Fsamba-docker-home-server","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhelgeklein%2Fsamba-docker-home-server/lists"}
