Possible without Docker ? #140

Closed julpec closed 2 years ago

julpec commented 2 years ago

Hello I would have liked to use the service without using docker because it seems very complicated. Moreover, on my machine, I already have a web server running. So I just need to create a new virtual host and I won't have to worry about ports, reverse proxy or even installing Docker. So, is it possible with a basic apache web server ?

Hi. Yes it is. As configuration is passed in via environmental variables you'll need to pass those to Apache somehow. If you're on Debian/Ubuntu you could put them in /etc/apache2/envvars. Alternatively you could place them in the VirtualHost section using "SetEnv VARIABLE_NAME variable_value". Aside from that all you need to do is set the directory root and the default index extensions:

 DocumentRoot /path/to/ldap-user-manager/www
 DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Great! It works like a charm, thanks. It was quite difficult to get it to work with the RFC2307BIS because it is not implemented by default in slapd under Debian but I got it to work.

Is it possible to have instructions for this in the README and have lum take the variables from a configuration file instead?
