The Perfect Small Business Server

And now it's time for the SOHO server. This is how I implemented 'all-in-one' servers for small companies that couldn't afford high-performance server units. In the company where I worked back then, we had Windows SBS 2008 running. One day, after we deployed Debian Linux as an additional Active Directory controller, we decided to implement a similar solution for our clients.
The video below shows this type of configuration based on SAMBA4 AD DC, integrated with NextCloud and CUPS print server.
