You are here
Hi,
Chances are if you're reading this, you have applied for a TurnKey website user account.
Considering that 95% of all signups are spammers and/or seo farmers, plus the hammering the site has got from spammers earlier in the year, blocking auto signups was probably overdue. However, it can be really hard to tell the difference between a potential spammer and a legitimate user. So I'm almost certain that I delete legitimate accounts when I cleanup the obvious spammer ones.
So this thread has 2 main purposes:
- A place where prospective users, waiting for account approval, can introduce themselves, share a little about what they are using TurnKey for and demonstrate that they are a legitimate human; and
- A place where TurnKey users who are looking for support can post their question(s)/issue(s) while they are awaiting account approval.
Intro post
The first is pretty self explanatory, but I anticipate that spammers and seo farmers will want to try to game the system and will likely post friendly messages in the hope that they will convince me. So if you fit into this category, please be sure to mention specifically which appliance you are running (or plan to run) and on what platform. Also if you can give some context to your username and/or email, that might help me too. I'm not going to go into what sort of things I use to tell the difference (because spammers will adapt their behaviors) but I'm hoping that this will give some solid hints for legit users, but won't get read by too many spammers. One thing I can say is that the more detail you share, the harder it is to "fake" it, the more specific you can be, the less likely you are to be a spammer.
Guest support post
For the second category, please be sure to include lots of info. The reason for that is two-fold. Firstly, so I can tell you're not faking it to try to get your spam account enabled. Secondly, so that we can provide a useful response (rather than just asking you more questions). Definitely include the specific TurnKey appliance and version that you are using (and/or the output of 'turnkey-version'), plus details of the problem you are experiencing or thing you are trying to do but need advice on. Please provide as much info as possible.
Final words
If you're still reading, I'm almost certain that you aren't a spammer. Please post a new post below (as a guest). In the provided space for email address (which won't be publicly visible), please be sure to include the same email as you used for your account signup. Please note that your post may need to be manually reviewed before it is public visible.
Note too that support type posts will be moved. Other posts might be cleaned up from time to time too, so please don't be put off if there are no posts below.

Hi Saxon, your TurnKey website account has been approved.
If your files aren't that important, then you can use Turnkey as is.
If you want to do remote TKLBAM backups, then you'll need to sign up for a TurnKey Hub account (the user databases for the Hub and the website are separate). You can get an API key there.
If you do choose to sign up to the Hub and have any Hub specific concerns/questions, please send me a message via the the "in app" support system and I'll reply ASAP.

Account Approval
Hello,
Just got a great deal on Amazon with a mini PC and turned it into a Proxmox server so I was looking through all of the available options and came across the option to download Turnkey LXC templates but found out I need an api key before I can use them... :(. Here I am asking for permission...lol.

Hi David, your TurnKey
Hi David, your TurnKey website account is approved.
If you are only testing and/or your data isn't important, then you don't need an API key. The API key is to link TKLBAM backups (our built-in remote backup tool) to the TurnKey Hub. If you want to set that up, please sign up for an account over there (the user databases for the Hub and the website are separate).
If you do choose to sign up to the Hub and have any Hub specific concerns/questions, please send me a message via the the "in app" support system and I'll reply ASAP.

It's not a spam. Homelab server
Hi,
I’m a software developer running a homelab with Proxmox.
I’ve installed a Gitea container and need to set up backups using Turnkey.
I’m also interested in exploring other apps from the Turnkey Hub, with a possibility of subscribing in the future.
Thanks!

Hi Vlad, I've approved your account
Hi Vlad, I've approved your website account. Welcome to TurnKey. :)
If you want to enable backups though, you need to sign up for a separate TurnKey Hub account - the website and the Hub have individual user databases.
If you have backup and/or Hub related questions, please ask via Hub support - little blue icon bottom left. Expected Hub support response times are within one workday, although often quicker.
Please feel free to open a new thread on the forums here on the website anytime, although most likely I will be a fair bit slower to respond.

Hi Harry, your account is approved.
Regarding the time it has taken for your account to be approved, did you post here before?
If so, my apologies. For some reason I must have missed your post.
If not then that is expected. We get literally hundreds of signups per day and most of them are spammers. Posting here, confirming that you are not just a spammer is the second step to get your account approved. That should have been noted in the welcome email when you first signed up. Apologies if that wasn't clear or you didn't get the email.
Regardless, please post in the forums any time. Others may jump in and/or I'll reply when I can, usually within a few days.
Introduction
Hello,
I have dabbled with Turnkey solutions in the past but not actually registered for an account, or at least not followed-through as the process is rather unorthodox. Some solutions I have looked into in the past include a Process Maker solution, and presently an Odoo solution. I have also used the Open LDAP solution in the past to stage scaled lab environments for various NFR solution implementations for my work in my homelab. The purpose of my use of these solutions is primarily exploratory; I use them to get an idea of capabilities and hands on experience with the solutions before using them at large. It's been a while but I believe that I was testing the Process Maker solution in virtual box, but am presently using ProxMox to test out Odoo.
Hi Nyr, website account enabled
Hi Nyr, your website account is now enabled.
Yes apologies on the somewhat convoluted sign up process. Despite the spam protection that we had, I got overwhelmed by spammers so i had to make a difficult decision.
We plan to move to better forum software in the near future and hopefully we'll be able to improve the signup process while still stopping the spammers.
Now you can post in the forums anytime. I'll reply as soon as I can, but often that can take me a few days.
New user verifcation and all that :)
So here I am - I came across turnkey linux as a solution to my home hosting needs.
Stuck on a problem of my own creation. Hope you find a better solution for new user accounts though!
The struggle!
Hi Richard, your account in enabled
Hi Richard, your website account is now enabled. Please feel free to post in the forums anytime.
I apologies that the signup process is far from ideal. We have spam protection, but for whatever reason at one point I was overwhelmed by spammers - literally hundreds of spam posts per day, and from unique accounts too, so clean up was a time consuming pain. We were already planning to move to better forums software - and anti-spam measures. So the current process is a stop gap. Unfortunately it's taken us longer to migrate than I had hoped. But hopefully within the next few months...
:)
Well thanks mate - keep at it!
I was already aware of the forum spam struggles from previous experiences - I just hoped it wasn't as wide-spread of an issue as it actually is. :(

Hi Eudes
Hi Eudes.
Welcome to TurnKey. I have enabled your website account.
Please note that I only speak English, so I have taken the liberty of using Google translate on your post and adding an English translation below your text. I'll also do the same to mine.
In future feel free to continue to post in Portugese if you prefer, but it'd be great if you could also include an English translation as well. If your English isn't great feel free to use a translation service as I have.
To your migration request, please check the TKLBAM doc page first so you understand potential limitations. To get a Hub API key, you'll need a separate account with the TurnKey Hub because the user databases are separate.
If you need assistance migrating your data to a new server, please feel free to log in here on the website (using this account I've just enabled) and open a new support thread in our forums.
Olá, Eudes.
Bem-vindo ao TurnKey. Habilitei sua conta no site.
Observe que só falo inglês, então tomei a liberdade de usar o Google Tradutor em sua postagem e adicionar uma tradução em inglês abaixo do seu texto. Também farei o mesmo com a minha.
No futuro, sinta-se à vontade para continuar a postar em português se preferir, mas seria ótimo se você também pudesse incluir uma tradução em inglês. Se seu inglês não for bom, sinta-se à vontade para usar um serviço de tradução como eu usei.
Para sua solicitação de migração, verifique primeiro a página de documentação do TKLBAM para entender as possíveis limitações. Para obter uma chave de API do Hub, você precisará de uma conta separada com o TurnKey Hub porque os bancos de dados do usuário são separados.
Se precisar de assistência para migrar seus dados para um novo servidor, sinta-se à vontade para fazer login aqui no site (usando esta conta que acabei de habilitar) e abrir um novo tópico de suporte em nossos fóruns.

Hello my name is Adil,
I'm a student system/network administrator, and I'm currently playing with a Proxmox home server. It was through Proxmox that I discovered LXC containers, which I find very practical. After encountering a problem with the “Wordpress” LXC container, I decided to sign up to see if I could talk to the community or find out if earlier versions of the container were available, so I decided to sign up here and it's with my remaining energy and dark circles that I'm sending you this post.

Of course, I'm also interested in other containers that I haven't been able to test, such as nextcloud, but I've still got so much to learn and so many goals to achieve, for the moment, that I can't look into these treasures just yet.
see you soon
Hi Adil
Hi Adil, welcome to the TurnKey website.
Re your WordPress problem, it was a bug :( We've since fixed it though, so if you download the latest one - v18.2 - then you should be good to go.
FYI you can also get older releases from our mirror. They will require manual download. Once the template is in the right place on your proxmox server (/var/lib/vz/template/cache) then you should be able to launch one.
If you continue to have problems with WordPress (or any others), have other questions or would like to share some more feedback, please feel free to start a new thread here in the forums. I'll reply ASAP, but that may take a few days. Hopefully someone else might beat me to it.

New Account- Pending Approval
Hello,
I have submitted for a Turnkey approval and beleive that I am posting in the correct section. Over the past several months I have been studying system networking and have set up a three node proxmox cluster in which I am am developing network virtualization with ceph and ZFS storage. I have previously used the Turnkey Fileserver but did not set up with an API key. As I am familiarizing myself with VM and LXC deployment I am also hoping to learn how to improve and expand security and access options for the server. There are several other Turnkey appliances which I am interested in testing which is another reason I would like to setup this configuration. I am really enjoying everything I have learned so far, currently I am running servers for jellyfin, omv, adguard, homepage, docker, tipi, wireguard, pbx and a few other containers. My main goals now that I have the servers up and running is as mentioned to focus on more advanced configuration regarding security and access. Thanks!

i have turnkey fileserver installed in an lxc that has a mountpoint thats 2.5tb and its totally clean no files, but when i add smb share to my pc it says it has 125gb of used capacity when no files are on this share why is that? when i do df -h it shows me that the mountpoint is only 1% full and has some killobytes of data so why the smb share says 125gb?

Turnkey Membership Request (non-spam)
Hello, I am an instrumentation and controls engineering manager who plays with Turnkey appliances on my two Dell servers at home.
Why? Because it is fun. My Email name comes from when I lived in southern Maryland while working at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power plant. There is a river and Naval base in the area called Patuxent river and PAX River Naval Air Station (they do drone research).
My home computing environment has two Dell servers and I run a wide variety of Turnkey VMs. To name a few, I have two Samba AD Servers based on TurnKey Core GNU/Linux 15.0 (Debian 10/Buster) arranged in a redundant AD forest. Those I built from scratch. I have two Samba file servers in a redundant configuration with the distributed file system GFS2 running over top of DRBD and utilizing CTDB as the Samba interface.
Those were built from scratch using Turnkey Core GNU/Linux 16.1 (Debian 10/Buster). I also have a Apache Guacamole server for remote access to all my VMs, windows computers, appliances, etc, along with my OSSIM SIEM. The Guacamole implementation is installed on top of Turnkey LAMP 17.1 (Debian 11 - Bullseye). I have a squid based web proxy server I set up with SquidGuard and an ssl bump configuration using Turnkey Core GNU/Linux 16.1 (Debian 10/Buster).
More recently I just set up a software inventory server that utilizes OCS Inventory and runs on TurnKey LAMP Version 18.0 (Debian Bookworm). I have about 4 other VMs including things like my own OpenVPN server for cases when I want to connect directly to my infrastructure when I'm out travelling rather than going with a browser to launch RDP/VNC/SSH sessions through a browser using the Apache Guacamole interface... I hope all this helps. If you need further evidence that I am legit I can send you screen shots and scripts of my virtual appliance configs. :)

Welcome to the Machine
Hi .
A new but "old" Turnkey user here. Trying to set up some lxc's and hoping to get to know Turnkey, etc a little better.
Struggling with graying hair, shrinking wallet and Tech that seems more complicated than the machine code I programmed in 40 years ago !!!
<waves shyly>
Thanks
Hi Richie
Hi Richie, welcome to TurnKey! :)
TBH I had a go at machine code when I was a child and it did my head in! :)
But at the same time I totally get you re changing &/or new (to me or in general) tech. "Tech" is such a broad field these days, that expertise in one area often only gives you a vague head start in any other; if that.
Give me a Linux CLI and I'm super comfortable. But friends and family seem to think that because I'm "techy", that I can fix all their Windows and/or iProduct problems. Often I have to spend time searching online before I can even navigate around and find where to even start!
With regards to getting comfortable with TurnKey (and Linux in general), playing is key IMO. And if you're not breaking stuff sometimes, then you aren't playing hard enough! :D
Anyway, please feel free to start a new thread on the forums if you have any questions, problems or feedback for us. Hopefully catch you around.
First time using turnkey linux

Intro and optimistic
Hello! We run Proxmox on-premise, and have begun using the Turnkey File Server appliance. We're currently doing so using the LXC container, but if VM turns out to be the more reliable method, that's an option as well. I wouldn't mind paying for support, but I can't seem to find a paid support option for on-premise users. The only one I've found is for the cloud platform.
Hi David, welcome to TurnKey
Hi David, welcome to TurnKey. :)
You are right and unfortunately we don't have a dedicated way to sign up for support for a local server. It would be ideal if we had that as an option. In the meantime though, we already do have a few users paying for support for on premises TurnKey. They are paying subscribers with the TurnKey Hub, but don't run any cloud servers. Instead we provide the same support for their local servers that we would if they were running a TurnKey cloud server. It does mean that an AWS account is still required (it's a requirement of the sign up process), but if you don't ran any cloud servers, then there will be no AWS charges.
Having said that, we do also have a built-in remote encrypted backup tool we call TKLBAM (TurnKey Backup And Migration) which links to Hub Backups (which keeps track of your backups). TKLBAM compresses and encrypts your data, then uploads it directly to AWS storage (not via the Hub). The backups are generally fairly small and AWS storage is relatively cheap. I have a few servers being backed up myself and the monthly storage costs are literally only a few dollars.
Regardless, if you want to chat about paid options you can get in touch with me the Hub "in app" support system (blue icon in the bottom right corner).
Request for approval of turnkey account

New account request, wireguard install issue
Hello, I would like an account so that I may request help. I have installed turnkey-wireguard-18.0-bookworm-amd64 on a linux container in proxmox. Ran the init script, added a client, but I'm stuck at the next step: setting up a client. The instructions ask to choose client profile in inithooks, but when I run the python script again and select client, the script exits. I'm probably making a really silly mistake. Thanks in advance.
I have an updated build in the queue
We've just applied a bugfix to the code that I'm almost certain is related to the issue you're experiencing. A new release is in the pipeline. I'm not sure when it will be ready, but should be soon.
In the meantime, you can download the updated/fixed files onto your server like this:
Hopefully that gets you going. Please let me know how you go.

I'm not sure how to convince you I'm real other than to point you at my github user (mcarey42). I exist, and I'm an open source kind of guy, so maybe that's enough? Sorry you're having trouble with spammers and jerks. Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.
Thanks,

Seeking Support via TKL Container on ProxMox w/ No Ping ACK
Hi there. I recently came across TKL Fileserver in hopes of running it on ProxMox to provide share access(NFS/Samba) to my ZFS pool. I've run into an interesting issue after starting up a new TKL Fileserver container within a new ProxMox install. I also have pi-hole and a vanille ubuntu instance running without issues.
The issue seems to be that I can only ping/communicate with other containers hosted on ProxMox. I am unable to ping google.com, the gateway, or other LAN devices. Since pi-hole is hosted locally in a container - it is able to resolve DNS queries, but cannot connect to the end points.
- Container used for TKL Fileserver: debian-12-turnkey-fileserver_18.0-1_amd64.tar.gz / Latest
- Latest ProxMox PVE 8.2.2 used as of 09.15.2024(Sep. 15th)
- Iptables rules are empty
- TIA for any help or advice

Apologies for such a slow reponse
Apologies for such a slow response. It's likely of no consolation, but I actually thought I'd already replied but obviously not. :( Have you managed to work it out at all? If so, please post back with what it was. Otherwise, read on...
I have a number of TKL appliances running locally on PVE and haven't ever hit that issue - other than once ages when I accidentally configuring guest network incorrectly. Although all my guests have been running for a while and I had only just updated Proxmox. So I launched a fresh fileserver LXC but I couldn't reproduce your issue. :(
I double checked the config on my freshly created LXC container against what you posted and it pretty much matched yours. The only one that seemed even vaguely relevant (albeit still unlikely IMO) Is that I don't have IPv6 enabled - although I wouldn't expect that to cause your issue. Although perhaps disabling that is worth a try?
The other differences seemed trivial and unrelated to your issue - but to be as explicit as possible:
I also compared the output of other commands you provided and beyond the results of the above noted differences, I couldn't see anything of significance.
You didn't mention whether you tried pinging external resources via IP. If you haven't, then I suggest you try that. If that works (but domain still doesn't) then obviously it's a name resolution issue (wrong nameserver IP? something blocking traffic between file server and nameserver?). If you can connect via IP, perhaps double check nameserver issue by using 8.8.8.8 (Google public DNS).
Also you noted that there are no firewall rules configured. I'm assuming that you are referring to the PVE host? If you meant in the fileserver, then double check PVE firewall. FWIW TKL does have fw rules configured, but the fw is disabled by default so should be unrelated.
So TBH I'm stumped. Despite the fact that other servers are working as expected, the fact that your fileserver isn't, I can't help but think that it's something to do with your network.
Sorry that I can't provide anything of consequence...
I appreciate the very
Tldr: network switch was the cause of the issue. Simply plugging into a different port(no, they were vlan tagged) or switch solved all the networking issues.
Excited to Join – Looking to Learn
Hi,
I'm Maria, and I've recently started working with Proxmox in my home lab. After reading about TurnKey Linux templates, I decided to give them a shot for my server setup. So far, I’ve been able to set up a few containers, and I’m really interested in using the backup and API features to streamline things.
I’ve been tinkering with Linux on and off for a couple of years now, mostly using it to run small personal projects, but now I want to expand and automate a few tasks. Excited to join the community and learn more!
Thanks,
Hi Maria
Sorry for slow response. I actually approved your account a while ago so hopefully you were notified? If not, I'm sorry - I was in a rush when I approved your account.
As for getting an API key, you'll need to (separately) sign up to the TurnKey Hub. If you have any Hub specific questions, please ask via the "in app" support (blue icon towards the bottom right). Expected response time there is within one work day.

Hi,
Creating a new account. Missed the details on the email (work commitments, and so far not been adversely affected me)
Anyhow, I'm running the debian-12-turnkey-nginx-php-fastcgi appliance on Proxmox.
As for email, the name is obvious, as for the domain, it's a hark back to the time I had hair styled in a particular fashion, and a gamertag back when I used to play Counter-Strike with a few friends about 20 years ago. Yup, oldskool gamer, and never been that great!

Hi,
I missed the detail in the email about needing to create a post here. Work and life commitments meant not reading the whole email.
Anyhow, I'm using the NGINX PHP FastCGI Server appliance on Proxmox.
Email address, name is obvious, domain name is based on the gamertag I used while playing Counter-Strike with friends about 20 years ago now.
Thanks
Ian.
Just replied to your other post...
I just replied to your other post. Perhaps I should have just deleted this one?!
Anyway...
FWIW I'm a gamer from way back too - and I wasn't ever that great either! :) I still game a bit in my (limited) downtime. Although mostly more casual strategy type games these days. Preferably ones that aren't too hectic - often turn based or at least easily paused. Oxygen Not Included is the one I've been playing most lately.
Hopefully catch you around.

Hi Chris, weclome to TurnKey
Yeah spammers suck! TBH, I think they're getting worse. We've tried tons of stuff but this has been the only really reliable way to stop it. Just before I locked down new signups, we got hit with some particularly nasty ones that were posting literally hundreds of spam posts pre day, and all using individual accounts, so a PITA to clean up...

account access
Looking to get them access yo! Im dealing with a issue of using the wordspress turnkey LXC for proxmox. Everything runs fun but when i get to the turnkey admin login console in the browser the password i put in during intsall doesnt work. I even logged in terminal and changed the admin password and still doesnt work only ends up blocking my computer ip. HELP! Love your stuff btw
Hi Jordan
Welcome to TurnKey. Sorry for my slow response. I actually approved your account a while ago so hopefully you were notified? If not, I'm sorry - I was in a rush when I approved your account.
Regardless, please start a new thread in the forums with as much info as possible. E.g. what sort of characters you used in your password (obviously not the actual password). Plus anything that seems like it might be useful.
It's also worth being aware that by default our servers have a number of security features which may cause you issues. If you get the password or username wrong (e.g. typo), you'll get locked out for a little bit - by fail2ban. If you want to disable that, log into a terminal and run:
To completely disable it (not recommended if publicly accessible), re run that same command, but with "disable" instead of "stop".
Turnkey gameserver updates
So I installed a turnkey gameserver the other day, which I already found to be quite hard due to the poor documentation, only to run into a much harder problem yesterday. My steam game updated itself, and wouldn't allow me to join my outdated server.
So how do I update my turnkey game server? Well surprisingly, I found no ready built way to do it. Since it surely is one of the most common things a user would want to do once they have a gameserver, that is pretty shocking. Furthermore, there was no documentation about it.
After banging my head on my desk for an hour, I finally managed to find the solution. A single forum post on this forum, having asked the same question nearly 4 years ago, with the answer provided by the OP themselves. It was essentially to run the install script manually. But since you'd never seen this script from the start, since the initial setup is done using confconsole, this was essentially impossible to guess.
So why hasn't the documentation been updated, or the gameserver improved? Well that's why I wanted to post here, to see if I'm missing something obvious staring me down the eye. And if you read all the way to here, thanks for sticking with my somewhat drawn out post.
Hi Björn. Sorry for the pain...
Sorry to hear it was so painful to work out. Yes, unfortunately, similar to many open source project, documentation is definitely our weakest point!
Having said that, there is actually some documentation in the gameserver build code GitHub repo. That's also linked to on the Gameserver app page here on the website (and the GitHub readme). I'm guessing you didn't find that?
Do you have any other ideas on how we might be able to make things better for users like you? E.g. make the docs easier to find or more accessible? If they're not good enough, it'd be great if you're open to helping out improving it. If you have a GitHub account, you can edit the docs there and open a pull request. Otherwise, just posting ideas on how it could be better would be awesome! :)
Regardless, thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
Also sorry for my slow response. I actually approved your account a while ago so hopefully you were notified? If not, I'm sorry - I was in a rush when I approved your account.
Oops, I see you're way ahead of me! Thanks very much!
I've just got to my outstanding GH notifications and saw that you beat me to it and had already added/improved our docs! You my friend are a legend!
Thanks again!

Hi Jeremy,
I have installed a turnkey domain controller v17.1 which I'd like to test in my home lab, and probably use it in SMB environment, so could you please approve my account.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Aleksandar - welcome to TurnKey
Hi Aleksandar. Your account is now approved, so feel free to open a new thread on the forums if you have questions, etc.
FWIW, I actually updated our Domain Controller (to v18.0) a while ago, but somehow missed the vital step of updating the Domain Controller appliance page! :(
And I've actually just built an update (v18.1). I suggest using the new one instead of the one you already have. If you have already started using v17.x, you should be able to download and install the new one and join it to your existing domain and then retire the v17.x one so you have the newer version. If you haven't spent too much time on it already, it might be easier to just launch the new one from scratch?
I plan to update the download page with the new version today.

Hello,
I am looking for community support for implementing different Turnkey Linux servers that can replace Windows Server equivalent without wasting a ton of money on licences. The first flavor that caught my attention is the Domain Controller. Thank you for accepting me in the forums.

FWIW there is a new release that you can download from the Domain Controller appliance page. I suggest that you download that one.

DC 18
Yep, that was my mistake...
The v18.0 release was a stable release, ready to use. It was just that I somehow missed updating the page!? It was only when I went to update it for the new v18.1 release (yesterday - built late last week) that I realized... FWIW I plan to double check all the other appliance pages and see if I missed any others...
If you are already using the v18.0 Domain Controller, there is nothing specifically "wrong" with it. But if you haven't use v18.1.
FYI the reason why I did a v18.1 rebuild was to include the recent (quite serious) CUPS security update OOTB. If you are running v18.0 already, the CUPS security update would have already been installed by the nightly auto security updates (along with any other security updates that have been released since it was published).
The only other change I made was to disable the CUPS service by default. There is no specific risk having it running (assuming the sec update is installed), but unless you actually use it, it's probably best to have it disabled anyway.
When I updated the version on the Domain Controller page yesterday, I also added instructions on how to enable/disable CUPS.

Hi Gabriel - your English is fine :)
Hi Gabriel, welcome to TurnKey.
v15.x is very old and I'm almost certain that's why you're getting those error messages when trying to update the packages.
I've just released a new v18.x release. You can download that from the Domain Controller appliance page, install it to a new VM (or hardware if you prefer) and migrate your domain to an up to date server that way. Once you've migrated, then you should be able to retire the old server.
Now you're approved, please feel free to open a new thread with you have any questions. Although please be aware that I'm no Samba/AD expert. But I'll do my best.
