# authentik
## Overview
This is the NetGrimoire authentik stack, providing a secure authentication service for users. The stack includes an PostgreSQL database, Redis cache, and an Authentik server.
The authentik Stack provides a centralized account management solution for NetGrimoire. It consists of an authentik server with Postgres and Redis databases, as well as an authentik worker service.

## Build & Configuration
### Prerequisites
Ensure you have Docker Swarm installed and configured on your NetGrimoire environment.
* Docker 20.10+
* Caddy 2.4+
### Volume Setup
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/Postgres
chown -R authentik:authentik /DockerVol/Authentik/Postgres
```
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/media
chown -R authentik:authentik /DockerVol/Authentik/media
```
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/custom-templates
chown -R authentik:authentik /DockerVol/Authentik/custom-templates
```
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/certs
chown -R authentik:authentik /DockerVol/Authentik/certs
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/media/
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/custom-templates/
```
### Environment Variables
```bash
AUTHENTIK_REDIS__HOST=redis
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__HOST=postgresql
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__USER=authentik
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__NAME=authentik
# generate: openssl rand -hex 32

### First Run
On your first run, ensure to update the authentik database and cache:
After the initial deployment, you may need to run:
```bash
docker exec -it authentik server /initdb --password=<your_password>
docker exec -it authentik worker init
```
to initialize the authentik database.

### Accessing authentik
| Service | URL | Purpose |
|---------|-----|---------|
- **Authentik Server**: auth.netgrimoire.com:9080
- **Worker UI**: <from caddy labels>
- **authentik**: https://auth.netgrimoire.com
### Primary Use Cases
1. Register for an account.
2. Login to your account.
To access the authentik interface, navigate to <https://auth.netgrimoire.com>.
### NetGrimoire Integrations
This stack connects to the following services:
- PostgreSQL database
- Redis cache
The authentik service connects to the Postgres database for storing user credentials and data. It also communicates with the Redis cache for faster lookups.
---
## Operations
### Monitoring
Kuma monitors:
- authentik: https://kuma.netgrimoire.com/authentik
```bash
docker stack services authentik
<docker service logs commands>
docker service logs -f authentik
```
### Backups
Critical backups should be performed regularly for the entire stack. Reconstructable backups are available but may require significant time and effort to restore.
Critical backups are stored in /DockerVol/Authentik/backup/. The Postgres database is not backed up as it's managed by the container.
### Restore
To restore from backup, run:
```bash
cd services/swarm/stack/authentik
./deploy.sh
./deploy.sh --restore-from-backup
```

## Common Failures
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---------|-------|-----|
1. Service not responding.
- Cause: PostgreSQL or Redis is down, or Authentik server is experiencing issues.
- Fix: Check the logs for any errors and restart the service if necessary.
2. Failed login attempts.
- Cause: Incorrect credentials provided to the Authentik server.
- Fix: Check your username and password, then try again.
3. No data available in the Redis cache.
- Cause: Redis is not properly configured or is experiencing issues.
- Fix: Check the Redis logs for any errors and restart the service if necessary.
4. Authentik server crashes.
- Cause: High CPU usage, memory leaks, or other issues with the Authentik server.
- Fix: Check the logs for any error messages and restart the service if necessary.
- **Failed to connect to Postgres**: Insufficient Postgres credentials or connection issues. Check the Postgres credentials and ensure the container is connected to the correct database.
- **Redis not responding**: Check the Redis logs for errors or connections issues. Ensure the Redis container is running correctly.
