With LXD, you can use any SAMBA setup guide which seems to work, because LXD containers are self contained, bootable entities.

If you use Docker, you'll have to arrange for all your config files + data files to live in some external volume. This means using Docker requires modifying any setup guide to work as Docker requires.
Tip: Geez, don't use Ubuntu 16.04, where support support ends in 2024.

Use 18.04, where support runs through 2028.

With Bionic (18.04) you get a full Networking Stack rewrite + many other perks.

Always start with latest LTS.

Note: Also, LXD won't really run well on 16.04 + Docker will also likely have impossible to debug problems... because... no one is doing any Xenial (16.04) targeted dev work at this point. This means any code shoe-horned into working on Xenial will all be back port code.

Take LXD for example. All LXD updates come by way of SNAP installs (not APT) + Xenial SNAP support is... well... you'll only go this route if you have unlimited time + budget.

Best to always start with the latest Ubuntu LTS version, if time + budget optimization is important to you.
