Hello,

Thank you for creating this service !
However, after setting it up, everything worked perfectly and I could add users and use them, until I ran docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d.
Then, after it gor back up, I was unable to login using the accounts until I manually changed the password to what I originally set them during the setup. The logs go in that direction, indicating that the admin password I am supplying is wrong until I manually set it back.

My setup is quite basic (no ssl, admin account is root) but inside a bigger array of docker-compose services, so I would like to avoid having to paste it here if possible.

I am running this on an arm64 machine if that is of any help, using docker stable tag.

Hmm, could you share the relevant docker-compose config? Namely:

The LLDAP block, with any mount
Any volume referenced by the LLDAP block

When you managed to reconnect after changing the password again, did you still have the new users you created? It sounds a bit like the DB was deleted when you ran docker-compose down.
Finally, can you post the beginning of the verbose LLDAP logs? I.e. config, startup messages, and one login attempt.
