Docker-openldap: Unable to access openldap container

[Kavisk]

Hi,

I am new to containers and openldap containers.

I started openldap with the following commands.

docker run --name my-openldap-container --detach osixia/openldap:1.1.9

and did an ldap search as Suggested in the documentation.
docker exec my-openldap-container ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost -b dc=example,dc=org -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -w admin

Got the following output

LDAPv3

base with scope subtree

filter: (objectclass=*)

requesting: ALL

#

example.org

dn: dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: Example Inc.
dc: example

admin, example.org

dn: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: admin
description: LDAP administrator

search: 2
result: 0 Success

numResponses: 3

Docker -ps result is as follows

There is no process listening on 389 or 636

You have to map the ports when creating the container in order to access from your host:

docker run --name my-openldap-container -p 389:389 -p 689:689 --detach osixia/openldap:1.1.9

I had this exact problem, maybe put a nice notice in the README (which does include a beginner's guide, with the port argument excluded)
