Glad you like it :) It seems LLDAP is a bit more lightweight than you expect, though: - You could easily implement one-way replication on top, it's just an SQlite database, you can easily copy it around (or rather use the built-in `.b

Something cool that I didn't highlight since it's not the main point: The web UI uses the OPAQUE protocol to log in/store passwords, so your password is never sent to the server (it instead stores just enough information for

I'm not sure what you mean by intermediate packages, but roughly the main dependencies are: - Backend: sea-query to build the SQL queries, Sqlx to run them, actix for the http frontend, ldap3_proto to handle LDAP protocol, juniper for

We're going to add support for more DBs (e.g. Postgres and MySql) in the next release, I did a lot of work on the underlying libraries to make that possible. However, mapping the tables/field names is not planned. I think it'

The data is stored in an sqlite database, it's very easy to backup/copy. I'm planning on supporting alternate DBs as well.

From the front page, I have no idea what this project offers or what it does. Why should I log in with GitHub when I don't know what it'll do?

They are actually listed on the page, ctrl-F for them. They're listed under "mixed index".

I built the user management UI for my LDAP server implementation like that [0]. It's quite nice (I don't like JS), but it's not super stable yet, the 0.18 update of yew changed many things in an incompatible way. It looks way

It's more that I never properly measured it, but I know that it doesn't use more than that :) I should probably get a more accurate figure in there. EDIT: From docker stats, I can see the container using about 2.5MB RAM, which is

I've been self hosting for nearly 10 years now, and in all this time the biggest pain point I remember is setting up OpenLDAP. That's why I created LLDAP ( https://github.com/nitnelave/lldap ), a minimalistic L

It seems they have prerun commands to copy your dotfiles, but you have to specify that you want them. There's an example in the README.

I'm working on a PoC static SQL query builder using generics, but it's pretty opinionated and kinda assumes that the binary is controlling the DB, instead of the DB being independently managed. And since it's static, it would

It seems to be skewed towards web development, with W3schools as one of the top 3 sources. Selection bias or natural sample bias?

How can you make sure that the walkthroughs are in sync with the code? Especially across repositories. The article is surprisingly light about this. It kinda reminds me of the rust doc and doctests (snippets in the docs that are valid rust

I'm working on a dirt-simple LDAP server for self-hosted user management, written in Rust, with the frontend also written in Rust (compiled to WASM): https://github.com/nitnelave/lldap I had an MVP release last mo

I actually implemented that in Bison a few years ago, using graphs (DAG) rather than a matrix. You could define groups of totally ordered operators, and they were not (by default) cross comparable. However, given the low popularity of Bison

I had the... pleasure of meeting M4 while working on GNU Bison (a grammar parser generator): after parsing the grammar, it calls M4 to generate the parser (in C, C++, Java, D or other), defining some variables. So you get a giant c/c++

You can multiplex your SSH session and have several ssh commands running on the same connection (without having to type the password/check the security key again). Check the ControlMaster option for SSH.

It seems like you want a reference-counted pointer: you get shared ownership, and the object is deleted when the last reference to the pointer is deleted. Similar to C++'s std::shared_ptr
