    OpenLDAP container image 🐳🌴

  • 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.

  • lldap

    Light LDAP implementation

  • FreeIPA

    Mirror of FreeIPA, an integrated security information management solution

  • I also want to try FreeIPA but as it's built on top of 389ds I'm afraid that it's gonna be as big of a memory hog (will try it later anyways) and has many things I don't and won't need, which I'm afraid would add complexity to setup.
