Samba Active Directory Domain Controller Docker Image

Deploy a new domain on a Linux host

docker run -d --privileged \
  --restart=unless-stopped --network=host \
  -e REALM='SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM' \
  -e DOMAIN='SAMDOM' \
  -e ADMIN_PASS='Passw0rd' \
  -e DNS_FORWARDER='8.8.8.8' \
  -v dc1_etc:/usr/local/samba/etc \
  -v dc1_private:/usr/local/samba/private \
  -v dc1_var:/usr/local/samba/var \
  --name dc1 --hostname DC1 diegogslomp/samba-ad-dc

Update the /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts, replacing host_ip

# /etc/resolv.conf
search samdom.example.com
nameserver host_ip

# /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1     localhost
host_ip       DC1.samdom.example.com     DC1
