Prerequisites

Before deploying, ensure your host environment is ready. See the Quick Start Guide for host setup instructions.

Deployment

Podman Compose

services:
  lldap:
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/lldap:pkg"
    container_name: lldap
    environment:
      - PUID=1000  # User ID for the application process
      - PGID=1000  # Group ID for the application process
      - TZ=UTC  # Timezone for the container
    volumes:
      - "/containers/lldap:/config"
    ports:
      - "17170:17170"
      - "3890:3890"
    # always (not unless-stopped) so FreeBSD's podman rc.d auto-starts it at boot
    restart: always

Save as compose.yaml, then run podman-compose up -d.

AppJail Director

.env:

# .env

DIRECTOR_PROJECT=lldap
PUID=1000
PGID=1000
TZ=UTC

appjail-director.yml:

# appjail-director.yml

options:
  - virtualnet: ':<random> default'
  - nat:
services:
  lldap:
    name: lldap
    options:
      - container: 'args:--pull'
      - expose: '17170:17170 proto:tcp'
      - expose: '3890:3890 proto:tcp'
    oci:
      user: root
      environment:
        - PUID: !ENV '${PUID}'
        - PGID: !ENV '${PGID}'
        - TZ: !ENV '${TZ}'
    volumes:
      - lldap: /config
volumes:
  lldap:
    device: '/containers/lldap'

Makejail:

# Makejail

ARG tag=pkg

OPTION container=boot
OPTION overwrite=force
OPTION from=ghcr.io/daemonless/lldap:${tag}

Save the files above, then run appjail-director up.

Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

To avoid exposing ports, just remove the expose option in your appjail-director.yml or from your command-line arguments.

Bastille

Warning

Bastille's OCI support is experimental. It requires buildah and shares the host network stack (inherit). Mount volumes with --volume HOST JAIL; without it, image-declared volumes are stored under ${bastille_volumesdir}/${jail}.

services:
  lldap:
    name: lldap
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/lldap:pkg"
    network:
      - mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
    volumes:
      - "/containers/lldap:/config"

Save as bastille-compose.yml, then run bastille up.

Access at: http://localhost:17170

Parameters

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
PUID	1000	User ID for the application process
PGID	1000	Group ID for the application process
TZ	UTC	Timezone for the container

Volumes

Path	Description
/config	Configuration directory

Ports

Port	Protocol	Description
17170	TCP	Web UI
3890	TCP	LDAP

First start

The first start writes /config/lldap_config.toml with its own random JWT secret, key seed and admin password, and logs the admin login once: [lldap] Admin login: admin / <password>. Change the password in the web UI.

To choose them yourself instead, set any of these before the first start (the JWT secret and the password can also be read from a file: LLDAP_JWT_SECRET_FILE, LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASS_FILE):

services:
  lldap:
    environment:
      - LLDAP_LDAP_USER_EMAIL=admin@example.com
      - LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASS=very_secure_password
      - LLDAP_JWT_SECRET=<random>
      - LLDAP_KEY_SEED=<random>

Architectures: amd64 User: bsd (UID/GID via PUID/PGID, defaults to 1000:1000) Base: FreeBSD 15
