Samba4 AD-DC docker container

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.

Automation of deployment with Ansible: https://github.com/YuriBucci2/samba4-docker-ansible

See the following examples on how to start/setup the DC.
