docker-openldap
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
A Docker image running OpenLDAP on Debian stable ("wheezy" at the moment). The
|
|
Dockerfile is inspired by
|
|
[cnry/openldap](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/cnry/openldap/), but as said
|
|
before, running a stable Debian and be a little less verbose, but more complete
|
|
in the configuration.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: On purpose, there is no secured channel (TLS/SSL), because I believe that
|
|
this service should never be exposed to the internet, but only be used directly
|
|
by Docker containers using the `--link` option.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The most simple form would be to start the application like so (however this is
|
|
not the recommended way - see above):
|
|
|
|
docker run -d -p 389:389 -e SLAPD_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -e SLAPD_DOMAIN=ldap.example.org dinkel/openldap
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
docker run -d -name openldap --volumes-from your-data-container dinkel/openldap
|
|
|
|
An application talking to OpenLDAP should then `--link` the container:
|
|
|
|
docker run -d --link openldap:openldap image-using-openldap
|
|
|
|
The name after the colon in the `--link` section is the hostname where the
|
|
OpenLDAP daemon is listening to (the port is the default port `389`).
|
|
|
|
Configuration (environment variables)
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For the first run one has to set at least two envrironment variables. The first
|
|
|
|
SLAPD_PASSWORD
|
|
|
|
sets the password for the `admin` user.
|
|
|
|
The second
|
|
|
|
SLAPD_DOMAIN
|
|
|
|
sets the DC (Domain component) parts. E.g. if one sets it to `ldap.example.org`,
|
|
the generated base DC parts would be `...,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=org`.
|
|
|
|
There is an optinal third variable
|
|
|
|
SLAPD_ORGANIZATION (defaults to $SLAPD_DOMAIN)
|
|
|
|
that represents the human readable company name (e.g. `Example Inc.`).
|
|
|
|
The fourth (somewhat) optional variable
|
|
|
|
SLAPD_CONFIG_PASSWORD
|
|
|
|
allows password protected access to the `dn=config` branch. This helps to
|
|
reconfigure the server without interruption (read the
|
|
[official documentation](http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/guide.html#Configuring%20slapd)).
|
|
|
|
After the first start of the image (and the initial configuration), these
|
|
envirnonment variables are not evaluated anymore.
|
|
|
|
Data persistence
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The image exposes the directory, where the data is written
|
|
(`VOLUME ["/var/lib/ldap"`). Please make sure that
|
|
these directories are saved (in a data-only container or alike) in order to make
|
|
sure that everything is restored after a new restart of the application.
