[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA server in Docker containers -- upcoming changes

[Jan Pazdziora]

Hello,

if you are running FreeIPA servers in containers, you might want to
be aware of a change that is coming -- in branch master-systemd of

	https://github.com/adelton/docker-freeipa

we run the FreeIPA services via native systemd in the container,
instead of the emulation of systemctl that the current branches and
images use. That requires new option to be passed to the docker run
command:

	-v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro

Adding that option when running containers from existing images does
not hurt so you might want to add them to your startup scripts.

Of course, any testing of that master-systemd branch and its
suitability for your environments would also be appreciated -- report
any successes or failures either on this mailing list, freeipa-devel,
or using

	https://github.com/adelton/docker-freeipa/issues/new

Upgrades from existing installations (data volumes) are supported but
you certainly want to keep backup around in case you need to revert to
the old image. You can also create new replica. The master-systemd
branch is based on Fedora 23.

Thank you,
