389 Directory Server container image

Description

389 Directory Server is a highly usable, fully featured, reliable and secure LDAP server implementation.

Usage

By default, the image launches 389 Directory Server with the same configuration that comes with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. However there is also included a pre-configured Name Service Switch (NSS) configuration file (/etc/nsswitch.conf).

$ podman run -it --rm -p 3389:3389 -p 3636:3636 registry.suse.com/suse/389-ds:%%389ds_version%%

Volumes

The database is stored in the volume mounted as directory /data. A new empty database is created during container startup, unless an existing database is already present in /data.

To mount a host directory as a volume for your database, run the following command:

$ podman run -it --rm -v /my/own/datadir:/data:Z -p 3389:3389 -p 3636:3636 registry.suse.com/suse/389-ds:%%389ds_version%%

Certificates

By default, the container uses a self-signed CA certificate and a server certificate signed by that CA.

Place a custom TLS certificate in PEM format in /data/tls/server.crt and the key in and /data/tls/server.key. Place the CA certificates (each as a separate file) to /data/tls/ca/, for example, /data/tls/ca/ca1.crt and /data/tls/ca/ca2.crt.

Environment variables

DS_ERRORLOG_LEVEL

Use this optional environment variable to set the log level for ns-slapd (default is 266354688).

DS_DM_PASSWORD

Use this optional environment variable to set the cn=Directory Manager password (a default password is generated randomly). The default randomly generated password can be viewed in the setup log.

DS_MEMORY_PERCENTAGE

Use this optional environment variable to set the LDBM autotune percentage (nsslapd-cache-autosize) (default is unset).

DS_REINDEX

Use this optional environment variable to run a database re-index task. Set the value to 1 to enable the task (default is disabled).

DS_SUFFIX_NAME

Use this optional environment variable to set the default database suffix name for basedn (default one is derived from the hostname).

DS_STARTUP_TIMEOUT

Use this optional environment variable to change the time to wait for the instance to start (default is 60 seconds).

DS_STOP_TIMEOUT

Use this optional environment variable to change the time to wait for the instance to stop (default is 60 seconds).

Health, liveness, and readiness

The container image includes one explicit health check. This check will verify if the service is misconfigured, ns-slapd is running, and if the LDAPI is functional.
