I had these lines in but had to remove them because of a bug which prevented smbd from starting.    I assume that's been fixed now because I have uncommented the lines and smbd starts as normal AND the ipv6 errors have also gone!   So that seems to be the fix for the ipv6 log errors, but the original problem remains.

I agree and the DC is running not in a container but on the actual hardware.  The container is used for the file server so that it's a separate samba installation and doesn't come with the disadvantages of sharing files from the DC.
