This docker container runs Samba4 as an Active Directory Domain Controller.
The first time you start the container, samba-tool will be invoked to set it up using the supplied environment variables. After set is complete, the container will continue starting to get the DC up and running.
The container saves all necessary files within a volume mounted at '/samba'. See the following examples on how to start/setup the DC. It works best with host networking. With host networking, you'll need to ensure you allow the requisite firewall ports through at the host-level, too.
