Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

Save the files above, then run appjail-director up.

Experimental

Bastille's OCI support is experimental. It requires buildah and shares the host network stack (inherit). Mount volumes with --volume HOST JAIL; without it, image-declared volumes are stored under ${bastille_volumesdir}/${jail}.

Interactive Configuration

Parameters

Environment Variables

Variable Default Description
PUID 1000 User ID for the application process
PGID 1000 Group ID for the application process
TZ UTC Timezone for the container

Volumes

Path Description
/config Configuration directory

Ports

Port Protocol Description
17170 TCP Web UI
3890 TCP LDAP

First start

The first start writes /config/lldap_config.toml with its own random JWT secret, key seed and admin password, and logs the admin login once: [lldap] Admin login: admin / <password>. Change the password in the web UI.

To choose them yourself instead, set any of these before the first start (the JWT secret and the password can also be read from a file: LLDAP_JWT_SECRET_FILE, LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASS_FILE):
