Apache Directory Server is an open-source server solution for LDAP-based directory services. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Apache Directory Server on Void Linux.
Before proceeding, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Apache Directory Server requires Java Development Kit (JDK) to run. If you don't have it installed, you can install it using the following command:
xbps-install -Su openjdk11
Download the latest version of Apache Directory Server from the official website. You can use the following command to download it:
wget https://downloads.apache.org/directory/apacheds/dist/<VERSION>/apacheds-<VERSION>.tar.gz
Replace <VERSION> with the version number you want to download. For example:
wget https://downloads.apache.org/directory/apacheds/dist/2.0.0-M24/apacheds-2.0.0-M24.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where you have downloaded the tarball and extract it using the following command:
tar xf apacheds-<VERSION>.tar.gz
Navigate to the extracted directory:
cd apacheds-<VERSION>/bin
Run the following command to configure Apache Directory Server:
./apacheds configure
It will prompt you to enter the required information for configuration. Follow the instructions and provide the necessary details.
Run the following command to start Apache Directory Server:
./apacheds start
You can access Apache Directory Server using the LDAP protocol with the following URL:
ldap://localhost:10389
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache Directory Server on Void Linux. You can now use it to manage LDAP-based directory services.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
