docker‑sso

Self-hosted Authentik identity provider stack deployed via Docker Compose.

What It Deploys

• Authentik server - handles user authentication & SSO (SAML/OIDC protocols)
• Redis - caching store for Authentik
• PostgreSQL - primary database for Authentik
• Authentik worker - manages outposts and background tasks

Customizable and brandable via .env, media, CSS, and override files.

Usage

1. Clone the repo.

2. Copy and edit environment variables:

   cp example.env .env

   • Set values such as database credentials and Authentik configuration.

3. Launch services:

   docker compose up -d

4. Access the Authentik web interface:

   • Default HTTP port: 9000
   • Default HTTPS port: 9443 (if enabled via .env)

5. Create user accounts and policies within the Authentik UI.

⚙️ Customizing

• Use docker-compose.override.yaml to add or modify services.
