Simply put, this container has been written with simplicity and security in mind.
Many community containers run unnecessarily with root privileges by default and don't provide help for dropping unneeded CAPabilities either. On top of that, overly complex shell scripts, monolithic designs and unofficial base images make it harder to verify the source among other issues.
To remedy the situation, these images have been written with security, simplicity and overall quality in mind.
| Requirement | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Don't run as root | ✅ | Never run as root unless necessary. |
| Official base image | ✅ | |
| Drop extra CAPabilities | ✅ | See docker-compose.yml |
| No default passwords | ✅ | No static default passwords. That would make the container insecure by default. |
| Support secrets-files | ✅ | Support providing e.g. passwords via files instead of environment variables. |
| Handle signals properly | ✅ | |
| Simple Dockerfile | ✅ | No overextending container's responsibilities. Keep everything in the Dockerfile if reasonable. |
| Versioned tags | ✅ | Offer versioned tags for stability. |
This container only contains phpldapadmin and the necessary PHP (PHP-FPM) packages. In other words, this container only runs the PHP process and no HTTP server (which is how things should be).
You will therefore need an accompanying HTTP server. Luckily, the docker-compose.yml in the source repository contains a complete example of running this container with nginx and will work without additional steps.
By default, the configuration files can be found on the named volume and is currently the only way to configure phpldapadmin.
See Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml (https://github.com/kalaksi/docker-phpldapadmin) for more details.
See the Tags tab on Docker Hub for specifics. Basically you have:
- The default
latesttag that always has the latest changes. - Minor versioned tags (follow Semantic Versioning), e.g.
1.1which would follow branch1.1.xon GitHub.
