 The most simple form would be to start the application like so (however this is
 not the recommended way - see below):

 To get the full potential this image offers, one should first create a data-only
 container (see "Data persistence" below), start the OpenLDAP daemon as follows:

 An application talking to OpenLDAP should then `--link` the container:
