Debug LDAP inside Nextcloud Container

[sim-san]

Is there a way to install ldap-utils inside the nextcloud Container ?

I want to test the connection from the nextcloud Container to an LDAP server running in another container. But I saw that the root user get`s an random password.

simply run sudo docker exec --user root -it nextcloud-aio-nextcloud bash and then apk add ...?

also, did you see https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#ldap?

The easiest way is by adding the LDAP docker container to the docker network nextcloud-aio. Then you can connect to the LDAP container by its name from the Nextcloud container.

yes, I am working on this

I working on this. The connection between the containers works fine. But I can't connect to internet anymore from the ldap container. This are my changes to the docker compose file of the ldap image:

xxx
    networks:
      - nextcloud-aio-network

xxx

networks:
  nextcloud-aio-network:
    external:
      name: nextcloud-aio

Is this right ?

Looks fine to me. But I don't see how this should cut the connection of the ldap container to the internet...

Should I add host to the list of networks ? Do you think that helps ?

Do you unterstand, why this package for ldapsearch openldap‑clients is not found in the nextcloud container ?

Also adding the repo does not help:

bash-5.1# cat /etc/apk/repositories
