[keycloak-dev] LDAP setup for demonstration purposes

My question is: Docker or Vagrant?

If we have plans to showcase SSSD Federation provider + things like
start/stop sssd service to demonstrate the SSSD provider won't be
enabled. I would say that Vagrant is easier and we can benefit from
these boxes[1], otherwise we just stick with Marek's work.

I will give DBus on Docker a second try, but last time I checked wasn't
fun.
