# authentik
## Overview
This stack consists of services that provide account management functionality in NetGrimoire, including authentication and authorization for users.
The authentik Stack is a Docker Swarm-based service in NetGrimoire that provides account management capabilities. The stack consists of the authentik server, a PostgreSQL database for storing user data, and a Redis instance for caching and temporary storage.

## Build & Configuration
### Prerequisites
This stack requires a Docker Swarm cluster with the following nodes:
- **znas**: Host node for the swarm
Ensure Docker Swarm is configured and running on znas with worker nodes as docker4.
### Volume Setup
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/Postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
chown -R auth:auth /DockerVol/Authentik/Postgres
```
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/media:/media
chown -R auth:auth /DockerVol/Authentik/media
```
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik/certs:/certs
chown -R auth:auth /DockerVol/Authentik/certs
mkdir -p /DockerVol/Authentik
chown -R 1964:1964 Authentik
```
### Environment Variables
```bash
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=F@lcon13
POSTGRES_USER=authentik
POSTGRES_DB=authentik
AUTHENTIK_REDIS__HOST=redis
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__HOST=postgresql
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__USER=authentik
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__NAME=authentik
AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
TZ=America/Chicago
```
### Deploy
@ -63,51 +59,46 @@ docker stack services authentik
```
### First Run
After the initial deployment, verify that all services are running and the database is populated with test users.
Run `./deploy.sh` to initialize the authentik setup.

## User Guide
### Accessing authentik
- **URL**: <auth.netgrimoire.com>
- **Purpose**: Account management and authentication
| Service | URL | Purpose |
- **Authentik** | https://auth.netgrimoire.com | Server, Login |
### Primary Use Cases
Use this service for account management, user authentication, and authorization within NetGrimoire.
Use authentik for account management and authentication purposes in NetGrimoire.
### NetGrimoire Integrations
This stack integrates with the following services:
- PostgreSQL database for storing user credentials
- Redis cache for improving performance
This service integrates with other NetGrimoire services via environment variables, such as Uptime Kuma monitoring and Caddy reverse proxying.
---
## Operations
### Monitoring
- **kuma monitors**: <authentik-monitor>
- `docker stack services authentik`
- `docker service logs -f authentik`
Uptime Kuma monitors this service with labels: kuma.authentik.*
```bash
docker stack services authentik
docker service logs -f authentik
```
### Backups
Critical vs reconstructable: /DockerVol/Authentik/Postgres and /DockerVol/Authentik/media are critical for data integrity.
Critical data is stored on a persistent volume at /DockerVol/Authentik. Regular backups should be performed to ensure data integrity.
### Restore
```bash
cd services/swarm/stack/authentik
./deploy.sh
```
Restore from a backup by running `./deploy.sh`.

## Common Failures
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---------|------|-----|
| Stack fails to deploy | Insufficient permissions on a node. | Ensure the swarm cluster has access to all required nodes and that Docker is installed and running correctly. |
| PostgreSQL database is empty | PostgreSQL service was not properly initialized or configuration was incorrect. | Review the configuration files for PostgreSQL and verify that the environment variables are set correctly. |
| Redis does not respond | Redis service is not running or configuration was incorrect. | Check the status of the Redis service and ensure it's running with correct configuration. |
| Failure | Symptom | Cause | Fix |
- **Authentik down** | Service not available | Postgres or Redis issues | Check and restart Postgres or Redis services.
- **Connection timeout** | Connection errors | Authentik or database issues | Check authentik logs for connection errors, restart authentik service.
