docker-openldap VS mate-optimus

I'm entirely unfamiliar with overlays. I don't believe I've configured any on my OpenLDAP server, as it is just a default docker image I've populated with some OUs and users.

I'm trying to integrate LDAP into my small homelab but I'm extreme noobie in it. So far I've tried: 1. OpenLDAP - not so resource heavy but I found it difficult go get working correctly with NextCloud, Keycloak and Jellyfin. Maybe someone could recommend an easy to follow guide? 2. LLDAP - honestly it's almost prefect. Nice clean UI, great guides how to setup with everything I need, but it's a read-only LDAP, so I cannot create or manage users with Keycloak or NC, that's about the only downside and probably bugs me more than it should. 3. 389ds - has everything I need (and probably some more), super easy to setup with this guide but the elephant in the room is that it uses 700MiB of RAM (whereas LLDAP uses only 7-8MiB). That's a big difference which really makes me question whether I want to use this particular solution.

I have been struggling for a week to get sudo to work with my LDAP setup. I am using this docker setup. I have added these attributes to my server.

Hi, I've used the osixia github repository to spin up a docker container act as a LDAP Slave and I've successfully used the custom configuration and spin up the container. When i checked the logs of the container i saw the following as the output when it tries to sync with the Master.

It is quite straightforward to stand up an LDAP server listening in plaintext. My favorite mechanism is using the openldap container, although there are other options.

I'm trying to setup a LDAP server using the Osixia Docker container through docker-compose. I want it to contain lists of PosixAccount and PosixGroups, and use them to grant access to some external applications which also have a simpleSecurityObject entry in the directory (e.g. Grafana, which I already integrated with another LDAP server).

I've been trying to setup an openldap server from https://github.com/osixia/docker-openldap

I've grown quite tired of how painful it is to manage my LDAP server with multi-master replication. Currently I'm running osixia/openldap, with a wheelybird/ldap-user-manager frontend to manage users, all hosted on my Kubernetes cluster. Eventually, I'm looking to migrate to nitnelave/lldap

when I started out, I used red hat, Suse linux, and then finally I jumped to Ubuntu, when they killed gnome and rolled out their new GUI later, I switched to Ubuntu Mate, with xfce alternatively installed. And then later came MINT. which is based on ubuntu anyway.

Prepare a blank USB stick with a copy of Ubuntu (write the ISO to the USB stick with Rufus)

Ubuntu MATE (simple, well maintained, has the Ubuntu ecosystem support and should work well)

Linux Mint has its advantages, but your title doesn't make sense when there's Ubuntu MATE.

(btw: since the PC is older I would reccommend Ubuntu Mate or Xubuntu as those come with a lighter Desktop)

You can always change desktops later to Cinnamon or MATE or XFCE. If you want to try those desktops on your USB drive, you can download Ubuntu MATE or Xubuntu and try them on USB, just like you're currently doing.

My experience has been that Ubuntu's Gnome DE is somewhat less suitable to older computers than Ubuntu "official flavors" with lighter DE's -- Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE), Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE), Ubuntu MATE (MATE DE), and Xubuntu (XFCE DE) -- all of which use somewhat less resources than the Gnome DE.

Consider looking at several of the Ubuntu official flavors -- Kubuntu (Plasma DE), Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE), Xubuntu (XFCE), Ubuntu MATE (MATE DE). I wouldn't bother with Lubuntu (LXQT DE) unless you need a lightweight distro, because the LXQT DE is not as mainstream or well-supported as the others.

Based on recent experience helping a handful of friends move from Windows to Linux, I suggest starting with an official Ubuntu flavor (Ubuntu Budgie, Kubuntu, Xbuntu, Ubuntu Mate) 22.04 LTS release, picking which ever desktop environment appeals to you. Official Ubuntu flavors are the Ubuntu OS layer with standard but different desktop environments.
