docker-compose installation
This installation method is for test-setups and small-scale productive setups.
Prerequisites
- docker
- docker-compose
Install
Download the latest docker-compose.yml
from here. Place it in a directory of your choice.
To optionally enable error-reporting, run echo AUTHENTIK_ERROR_REPORTING__ENABLED=true >> .env
To optionally deploy a different version run echo AUTHENTIK_TAG=0.13.5-stable >> .env
If this is a fresh authentik install run the following commands to generate a password:
Afterwards, run these commands to finish
The compose file statically references the latest version available at the time of downloading, which can be overridden with the SERVER_TAG
environment variable.
If you plan to use this setup for production, it is also advised to change the PostgreSQL password by setting PG_PASS
to a password of your choice.
Now you can pull the Docker images needed by running docker-compose pull
. After this has finished, run docker-compose up -d
to start authentik.
authentik will then be reachable via HTTP on port 80, and HTTPS on port 443. You can optionally configure the packaged traefik to use Let's Encrypt certificates for TLS Encryption.
If you plan to access authentik via a reverse proxy which does SSL Termination, make sure you use the HTTPS port, so authentik is aware of the SSL connection.
The initial setup process also creates a default admin user, the username and password for which is akadmin
. It is highly recommended to change this password as soon as you log in.
