# authentik
## Overview
The authentik Stack is a Docker Swarm-based authentication server for NetGrimoire. It provides centralized account management and integrates with other services such as Caddy, Uptime Kuma, and the homepage. The stack consists of three primary services: Postgres, Redis, and Authentik.
---
The authentik stack provides a comprehensive authentication and authorization service for NetGrimoire. It consists of three main services: PostgreSQL, Redis, and Authentik. The latter is the core service responsible for managing user accounts, roles, and permissions.
## Architecture
| Service | Image | Port | Role |
|---------|-------|------|------|
- **Postgres:** docker.io/library/postgres:16-alpine | 5432 | Database |
- **Redis:** docker.io/library/redis:alpine | 6379 | Cache |
- **Authentik:** ${AUTHENTIK_IMAGE:-ghcr.io/goauthentik/server}:${AUTHENTIK_TAG:-2025.2} | 9080, 9443 | Server |
Exposed via: auth.netgrimoire.com
Homepage group: Management
- **Host:** docker4
- **Network:** netgrimoire
- **Exposed via:** auth.netgrimoire.com:9080, 9443 (Caddy reverse proxy)
- **Homepage group:** Management
---
## Build & Configuration
### Prerequisites
Ensure that the Docker Swarm manager (`znas`) and worker nodes (`docker4`) are connected to the same network.
- Docker Swarm cluster with manager and worker nodes
- Caddy instance for reverse proxying
- Uptime Kuma for monitoring
- NetGrimoire context setup
### Volume Setup
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik
chown -R 1964:1964 Authentik/
mkdir -p /DockerVol/
chown -R authentik:authentik /DockerVol/Authentik/
```
### Environment Variables
```bash
AUTHENTIK_REDIS__HOST=redis
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__HOST=postgresql
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__USER=authentik
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__NAME=authentik
AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
# generate: openssl rand -hex 32
AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY=g8JIvopgkcpIeRUKgfT5KwHFUwGNBFobwhHMHx08wPTJTtAlmqllAwmr6u4jk+ng8O1gbV/gwZnYylMn

### First Run
Post-deploy steps are automatically executed, ensuring the services are properly configured and running.
- Start Caddy and Authentik services
- Configure Uptime Kuma monitoring

### Accessing authentik
| Service | URL | Purpose |
|---------|-----|---------|
- **Authentik:** https://auth.netgrimoire.com | Authentication server |
- **Authentik**: https://auth.netgrimoire.com (Caddy reverse proxy)
- **Postgres**: Not directly accessible, use PostgreSQL connection string from Authentik
### Primary Use Cases
Use the authentication server to manage user accounts, authenticate API requests, and generate JSON Web Tokens.
- User account management and role assignment
- Permission-based access control for NetGrimoire services
### NetGrimoire Integrations
This service integrates with other services such as Caddy, Uptime Kuma, and the homepage. The `caddy-docker-proxy` labels are used to configure reverse proxying.
- Connects to PostgreSQL and Redis services through environment variables and labels
- Monitors by Uptime Kuma
---
## Operations
### Monitoring
[kuma monitors from kuma.* labels]
```bash
docker stack services authentik
docker service logs -f authentik
```
### Backups
Critical services require regular backups, including the Postgres database and Redis data.
- Critical: /DockerVol/Authentik/Postgres, /DockerVol/Authentik/Redis (regular backups)
- Reconstructable: /DockerVol/Authentik/custom-templates (template directory)
### Restore
```bash

## Common Failures
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---------|-------|-----|
- Service not available | Postgres not started | docker service start postgresql |
- Authentication failed | Incorrect credentials or database connection issue | Verify Authentik credentials and database connections |
- **Service Not Responding**: Check Caddy logs and restart if necessary.
- **PostgreSQL Connection Issues**: Verify PostgreSQL credentials and ensure data consistency.
