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.

Blog post

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.
