Mapping /var/lib/ldap to a local directory starts container with empty data

[micobarac]

docker run --rm \
           -v ~/OpenLDAP/ldap:/var/lib/ldap \
           -p 10389:10389 \
           -p 10636:10636 \
           -d \
           rroemhild/test-openldap

[rroemhild]

This is because the LDAP database is initialised when the image is created, rather than when it is booted for the first time. The idea behind this is that this Docker image is used to create a working LDAP for unit testing etc, not to store the data persistently.
