This image is based on osixia/openldap please refer to: https://github.com/osixia/docker-openldap 

Here just the backup extension will be described.

Backups are created in the directory /data/backup that should be mapped has volume so your ldap files are saved outside the container.

  docker run --env LDAP_BACKUP_CONFIG_CRON_EXP="0 5 * * *" \
  --volume /data/openldap/backup:/data/backup \
  --detach osixia/openldap-backup:1.5.0

For more information about docker data volume, please refer to :

https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockervolumes/

The container default log level is info. Available levels are: none, error, warning, info, debug and trace.

Example command to run the container in debug mode:

docker run --detach osixia/openldap-backup:1.5.0 --loglevel debug

See all command line options:

docker run osixia/openldap-backup:1.5.0 --help

Environment variables defaults are set in image/environment/default.yaml.

See how to set your own environment variables

• LDAP_BACKUP_CONFIG_CRON_EXP: Cron expression to schedule OpenLDAP config backup. Defaults to 0 4 * * *. Every days at 4am.

• LDAP_BACKUP_DATA_CRON_EXP: Cron expression to schedule OpenLDAP data backup. Defaults to 0 4 * * *. Every days at 4am.

• LDAP_BACKUP_TTL: Backup TTL in days. Defaults to 15.

Environment variables can be set by adding the --env argument in the command line, for example:

docker run --env LDAP_BACKUP_CONFIG_CRON_EXP="0 5 * * *" \
--detach osixia/openldap-backup:1.5.0

For example if your environment file is in : /data/ldap/environment/my-env.yaml

docker run --volume /data/ldap/environment/my-env.yaml:/container/environment/01-custom/env.yaml \
--detach osixia/openldap-backup:1.5.0

Take care to link your environment file to /container/environment/XX-somedir (with XX < 99 so they will be processed before default environment files) and not directly to /container/environment because this directory contains predefined baseimage environment files to fix container environment (INITRD, LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_CTYPE).

This is the best solution if you have a private registry. Please refer to the Advanced User Guide just below.

If you need to add your custom environment files you can extends this image.

Dockerfile example:

FROM osixia/openldap-backup:1.5.0
MAINTAINER Your Name <[email protected]>

ADD environment /container/environment/01-custom

Clone this project:

git clone https://github.com/osixia/docker-openldap-backup
cd docker-openldap-backup

Adapt Makefile, set your image NAME and VERSION, for example:

NAME = osixia/openldap-backup
VERSION = 1.1.9

become:
NAME = cool-guy/openldap-backup
VERSION = 0.1.0

Add environment files...

Build your image:

make build

Run your image:

docker run --detach cool-guy/openldap-backup:0.1.0

We use Bats (Bash Automated Testing System) to test this image:

https://github.com/sstephenson/bats

Install Bats, and in this project directory run:

make test
