FreeIPA server in Docker

This repository contains the Dockerfile and associated assets for building a FreeIPA server Docker image from the official yum repo.

Install docker 1.2+:

yum install -y docker       # on EL 7

Start the service:

systemctl start docker

To build the image, run in the root of the repository:

docker build -t freeipa-server .

To run the container:

docker run --name freeipa-server-container -ti -h ipa.example.test -e PASSWORD=Secret123 freeipa-server

The option --name assigns the container a name that can be used later with docker start, docker stop and other commands. Command ipa-server-install is invoked non-interactively the first the container is run, and the PASSWORD environment variable specifies the admin password.

The -ti parameters are optional and are used for get a terminal (useful for experimenting in the container).

The container can the be started and stopped:

docker stop freeipa-server-container
docker start -ai freeipa-server-container

IPA-enrolled client in Docker

Checkout the fedora-20-client, fedora-rawhide-client, or rhel-7-client branch, according to your needs. In the root of the repository, run:

docker build -t freeipa-client .

To run the client, link it to the freeipa-server container:

docker run --privileged --link freeipa-server-container:ipa -e PASSWORD=Secret123 -ti freeipa-client

The first time this container runs, it invokes ipa-client-install with the given admin password.
