**Purpose**: Authentik is an open-source Identity Provider, focused on flexibility and versatility. With authentik, site administrators, application developers, and security engineers have a dependable and secure solution for authentication in almost any type of environment. There are robust recovery actions available for the users and applications, including user profile and password management. You can quickly edit, deactivate, or even impersonate a user profile, and set a new password for new users or reset an existing password.

This document is based on the [Official Docker-Compose Documentation](https://goauthentik.io/docs/installation/docker-compose).  It is meant for testing / small-scale production deployments.

!!! note "Generating Passwords"
    Navigate to the online [PWGen Password Generator](https://pwgen.io/en/) to generate the passwords for `PG_PASS` (40 characters) and `AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY` (50 characters).   

    Because of a PostgreSQL limitation, only passwords up to 99 characters are supported
    See https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/09512C4F-8CB9-4021-B455-EF4C4F0D55A0@amazon.com

!!! warning "Password Symbols"
    You may encounter the Authentik WebUI throwing `Forbidden` errors, and this is likely caused by you using a password with "problematic" characters for the `PG_PASS` environment variable.  Try to avoid using `,` or `;` or `:` in the password you generate.

## WebUI Initial Setup
To start the initial setup, navigate to https://192.168.5.4:9443/if/flow/initial-setup/

## Traefik Reverse Proxy Configuration
If the container does not run on the same host as Traefik, you will need to manually add configuration to Traefik's dynamic config file, outlined below.
``` yaml
http:
  routers:
    PLACEHOLDER:
      entryPoints:
        - websecure
      tls:
        certResolver: myresolver
      service: PLACEHOLDER
      rule: Host(`PLACEHOLDER.bunny-lab.io`)

  services:
    PLACEHOLDER:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: http://PLACEHOLDER:80
        passHostHeader: true
```
