I used the quickstart documentation for all my testing, located here:
https://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/howto/quickstart.html
Initially I ran into trouble because the 'dirsrv' user and group are apparently
expected to already exist, so I added this to my config.scm and ran guix system
reconfigure:
(groups (cons*
;; To support 389-ds-base
(user-group (name "dirsrv"))
%base-groups))
(users (cons*
...snip...
;; To support 389-ds-base
(user-account
(name "dirsrv")
(comment "LDAP Server User")
(group "users")
(supplementary-groups '("netdev" "dirsrv"))
(home-directory "/home/dirsrv"))
%base-user-accounts))
After this, I generated a template config file with:
# dscreate create-template > gardner.inf
Then I read through the resulting template file and modified only these values:
- password
- server FQDN
- instance name (gardner)
- selinux (False)
- suffix (dc=gardner,dc=local)
Finally I tried to create the new instance with:
# dscreate from-file /root/gardner.inf
This said "Starting installation...", then paused for about 60 seconds and then
said:
Error: Failed to start DS, removing incomplete installation...
Error:
Note that even though it claims to, it did not actually remove the incomplete
installation, as trying the same command again results in:
Starting installation...
Error: Another instance named 'gardner' may already exist
Checking the logs, I found only this line in /var/log/debug that seems related:
Jul 10 12:49:09 localhost ns-slapd: looking for plugins in
'/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu', failed to open directory, error: No such file or
directory
Thanks for any suggestions,
