I tried running samba in a docker and I can run it but it's not in my
subnet. I can run my docker with '--network host' but then when I run
'smbclient -L localhost', every other time it shows my shares and every
other time it shows sysvol, netlogin and IPC$ but this is only from the
host. From other computers, I can only get sysvol, netlogon, IPC$.

I first tried a docker because I thought/think that running a whole vm
(using up a set of cpu and memory) is overkill for a fileserver. But due to
issues I was having, it may not be the best way to go about it. In my mind,
creating a vm is running two servers on the resources of one so basically
cutting the resources in half. I'm guessing these two don't need many
resources but I'm also running plex and emby on it so there's transcoding
going on that uses resources.
