[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA server in Docker container
Hello, if you need a way to quickly run FreeIPA server on your machine while keeping the machine open to installation and configuration of other software which would otherwise clash with the FreeIPA server, you can try FreeIPA in a Docker container. We currently see it as a proof of concept, for testing or demo purposes. The Dockerfiles with other content are available at https://github.com/adelton/docker-freeipa with branches for Fedora 20, rawhide, and RHEL 7. Automated built images are available in Docker index: https://hub.docker.com/u/adelton/ with Fedora 20 and rawhide content. Also available are client repositories and images, to quickly start another container and let it IPA-enroll to the server in a container. At this point, the containers need to be run as --privileged. We plan to track the progress of the effort at http://www.freeipa.org/page/Docker Any comments or improvements are welcome, -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Identity Management Engineering, Red Hat -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go To http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
