So finally I got this SambaPOS docker image running and published it on docker hub : https://hub.docker.com/r/devloic/sambapos .
You’ll need to run this image on linux ( tested on ubuntu 18.04 ) . This is a kind of proof of concept, of course you could also install SambaPOS straight on your linux host without docker but that requires quite a few steps so I would need to publish a guide for that. For testing purpose this image is far more easier to use, just install docker ( https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/ ) , run the ‘docker run’ command provided here https://hub.docker.com/r/devloic/sambapos and then you can access SambaPOS with VNC. Printers needs to be configured with CUPS on your linux host so that SambaPOS can see them inside the container. The image needs testing to check if the problems encountered by @mjb2000 remain.
