Convert an existing Samba server to Docker
This Docker Compose configuration can be used to convert an existing
Samba server over to Docker with little effort. Just edit the
docker-compose.yml file to add your shares, set the timezone
TZ variable if desired, then bring the server up:
docker-compose up -d --build
This assumes you have a working Samba installation, with configuration
in /etc/samba and library files in /var/lib/samba. If the paths
on the host machine are different, just edit them in the Compose file.
Based on/inspired by dperson/samba, but modified to work with/convert existing (bare metal) installations of Samba.

Please see my blog post for the background behind this implementation, the pros and cons compared to the dperson/samba version, and further notes on configuration.
