To setup basic 389-DS server use following steps:
# yum -y install epel-release
#If LDAP server is being setup on VM or base machine then do the following: (Not useful for container based setup)
##Edit '<tt>/etc/sysctl.conf</tt>'
##:<pre>
##::      net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 300
##::      net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
##:</pre>
##In '<tt>/etc/security/limits.conf</tt>' add:
##:<pre>
##::      *               soft     nofile          8192   
##::      *               hard     nofile          8192
##:</pre>
##Edit '<tt>/etc/profile</tt>' and at the end append
##:<pre>
##::      ulimit -n 8192
##:</pre>
##Edit '<tt>/etc/pam.d/login</tt>' and after last session required line add
##:<pre>
##::      session    required     pam_limits.so
##:</pre>
#Create ldapadmin user and set its password
#Install 389-ds and openldap-clients using:
#:<pre>
#::yum install -y 389-ds openldap-clients
#:</pre>
#Ensure that FQDN resolves to IP and with help of /etc/hosts IP resolves to FQDN.  Without this setup fails.  Even after setup while running the server this is necessary for server to continue working.
#Run '<tt>setup-ds-admin.pl</tt>' and enter appropriate values to setup the server
#:If there is warning of low file-descriptors reboot
#:Choose following options
## Typical setup
## system user is ldapadmin, system group is ldapadmin
## register with existing server: no
## administrator id : admin
## Password: secret
## Other appropriate values
#Allow incoming TCP connections on port 389, 636 and 9830 in firewall
#Configure 389-ds to automatically start on system boot using:
#:<pre>
#::chkconfig dirsrv-admin on
#::chkconfig dirsrv on
#:</pre>

To connect to server on administrators machine
# Install 389-ds (and not just 389-console)
# Use command:
#:<pre>
#::389-console -a http://&lt;server-fqdn-or-ip&gt;:9830/
#:</pre>

# Configure firewall
#:<pre>
#::   firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=389/tcp
#::   firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=636/tcp
#::   firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=9830/tcp
#:</pre>
#::  Add --zone=internal, if zones are being used
# Install packages:
#:<pre>
#::       yum -y install epel-release
#::       yum install 389-ds-base 389-admin 389-adminutil -y
#:</pre>
# Ignore SELInux poilcy errors     
# Enable services to run on startup
#:<pre>
#::       systemctl enable dirsrv.target
#::       systemctl enable dirsrv-admin
#::       systemctl start dirsrv.target
#::       systemctl start dirsrv-admin
#:</pre>
