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.

### Proxy outpost

version: "3.5"

services:
    authentik_proxy:
        image: ghcr.io/goauthentik/proxy
        # Optionally specify which networks the container should be
        # might be needed to reach the core authentik server
        # networks:
        #   - foo
        ports:
            - 4180:4180
            - 4443:4443
            # Starting in authentik 2021.9, use the ports below

            # Starting with 2021.9, you can optionally set this too
            # when authentik_host for internal communication doesn't match the public URL
