I am in the final stages of wrapping up the v15.0 release and newer versions of LXC, fileserver and domain controller are all in the build bucket awaiting publishing by my colleague Alon.
Having said that, you don't need to wait and the current v14.2 builds are definitely serviceable.
Which ever way you go, you'll likely find the LXC appliance usage docs quite handy. Note that there have been significant changes (I'd argue improvements) in v15.0 so if you persevere with v14.2, then use this link to the v14.2 docs instead.
Having said that, I suspect that you'll need to make some tweaks to get ACLs in the domain controller working properly within an LXC. Personally, I'd probably consider running that as a full VM (although it should totally be possible to get it fully working in a container).
Whilst I love LXC (and obviously TurnKey too), I must admit that personally I use Proxmox as a hyperviser. That allows the option to use LXC containers (you'll find the TurnKey LXC templates downloadable within the webUI) or KVM VMs (so you can even install Windows if you really wanted...).
With regards to the domain controller, beyond the most basics (i.e. the initial development and basic testing since), TBH, I don't actually have a ton of experience with it. The firstboot inithooks should allow you to get the basics in place, and the Samba docs should hopefully assist with any remaining questions. If you find any bugs in our appliance, or see gaps that would be good to have filled, or any other feedback then please post back. If you're sure it's a bug, please post straight onto the GitHub tracker.
The fileserver is pre-configered as a stand-alone server, but I'd really like to make it easy to join to an existing domain-controller. Unfortuantely, I didn't get there for v15.0. But it is possible - this page should help head you in the right direction. Again if you have feedback, please share.
Hope that heads you in the right direction... Good luck with it all.
