title: Manual Outpost deployment in docker-compose
---

To deploy an outpost with docker-compose, use this snippet in your docker-compose file.

You can also run the outpost in a separate docker-compose project, you just have to ensure that the outpost container can reach your application container.

```yaml
version: "3.5"

services:
  authentik_proxy:
    image: ghcr.io/goauthentik/proxy:2021.9.1-rc3
    ports:
      - 4180:4180
      - 4443:4443
      # Starting in authentik 2021.9, use the ports below
      # - 9000:9000
      # - 9443:9443
    environment:
      AUTHENTIK_HOST: https://your-authentik.tld
