Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lldap/lldap/issues/398

I recently moved my docker data to NFS shares.

I mount the nfs directory in my fstab and pointed the docker-compose.yml to the respective directory.

When trying to start lldap, it faisl with the following message:
"Could not bring up the servers: while connecting to the DB: pool timed out while waiting for an open connection".

When I move the volume back to local storage, everything works.

Any ideas?

LLDAP uses SQLite which does not work well when the database file is on a NFS mount.
Support for other databases is tracked in #87.
