⁠Apache DS in a Docker Container

Apache DS is a Java implementation of Directory server (LDAP). This projects puts it into container and makes it easier to configure and bootstrap it with some data.

Apache DS Page⁠ that explains what it is.

Docker registry entry⁠ for this container.

⁠Running container

Simply run the container with docker:

docker run -d -p 10389:10389 greggigon/apacheds

This starts a default instance of Apache DS running on port 10389 with no SSL. It has a default admin user and password and all default Apache DS schemas.

⁠Configuration

Container has two volumes defined:

• /data - if you want to persiste container data somewhere
• /bootstrap - for configuration, schema and bootstraping file

⁠Bootstraping

If you want to bootstrap Apache DS with a specific schema mount a bootstrap volume and place Apache DS specific schema in it.

docker run -d -p 10389:10389 -v /onmyhost:/bootstrap greggigon/apacheds

Sample schema can be found in a sample/schema.tar⁠ in this GitHub repository.

If you want to use specific config.ldif to setup Apache DS place it in the mounted volume for /bootstrap directory. Container will pick it up automaticaly.

If you have some extra data you want to put into Directory, you can place a file in the /bootstrap mounting folder and setup Environment variable BOOTSTRAP_FILE.

docker run -d -p 10389:10389 -v /onmyhost:/bootstrap -e BOOTSTRAP_FILE=/bootstrap/the-file.ldif greggigon/apacheds

⁠Examples

sample⁠ folder containes example schema, example config file and example of a data creation in LDAP upon bootstrap.
