Backend
To create a local development setup for authentik, you need the following:
- Python 3.9
- pipenv, which is used to manage dependencies, and can be installed with
pip install pipenv - PostgreSQL (any recent version will do)
- Redis (any recent version will do)
For PostgreSQL and Redis, you can use the docker-compose file in scripts/. You can also use a native install, if you prefer.
To configure authentik to use the local databases, create a file in the authentik directory called local.env.yml, with the following contents
debug: true
postgresql:
user: postgres
log_level: debug
secret_key: "A long key you can generate with `pwgen 40 1` for example"
Afterwards, you can start authentik by running ./manage.py runserver. Generally speaking, authentik is a Django application.
Most functions and classes have type-hints and docstrings, so it is recommended to install a Python Type-checking Extension in your IDE to navigate around the code.
Before committing code, run make lint to ensure your code is formatted well. This also requires pyright, which can be installed with npm.
Run make gen to generate an updated OpenAPI document for any changes you made.
Frontend
By default, no transpiled bundle of the frontend is included. To build the UI, you need Node 12 or newer.
The Frontend also uses a generated API client to talk with the backend. To generate this client, openapitools/openapi-generator-cli is used.
If you want to generate the client without installing anything, run this command:
make gen-web
To build the UI, run these commands:
cd web/
npm i
npm run build
If you want to make changes to the UI, run npm run watch instead.
To ensure the code is formatted well, run npx eslint . --fix and npm run lit-analyse.
