title: Overview
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
An outpost is a single deployment of a authentik component, which can be deployed in a completely separate environment. Currently, Proxy Provider and LDAP are supported as outposts.
|
||||
|
||||
![](outposts.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Upon creation, a service account and a token is generated. The service account only has permissions to read the outpost and provider configuration. This token is used by the Outpost to connect to authentik.
|
||||
|
||||
authentik can manage the deployment, updating and general lifecycle of an Outpost. To communicate with the underlying platforms on which the outpost is deployed, authentik has several built-in integrations.
|
||||
|
||||
- If you've deployed authentik on docker-compose, authentik automatically creates an integration for the local docker socket (See [Docker](./integrations/docker.md)).
|
||||
- If you've deployed authentik on Kubernetes, with `kubernetesIntegration` set to true (default), authentik automatically creates an integrations for the local Kubernetes Cluster (See [Kubernetes](./integrations/kubernetes.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
To deploy an outpost with these integrations, simply select them during the creation of an Outpost. A background task is started, which creates the container/deployment. You can see that Status on the System Tasks page.
|
||||
|
||||
To deploy an outpost manually, see:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Kubernetes](./manual-deploy-kubernetes.md)
|
||||
- [docker-compose](./manual-deploy-docker-compose.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Outposts fetch their configuration from authentik. Below are all the options you can set, and how they influence the outpost.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Log level that the outpost will set
|

## Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Each authentik outpost has a Prometheus metrics endpoint accessible under port `:9300/metrics`. This endpoint is not mapped via docker, as the endpoint doesn't have any authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
For the embedded outpost, the metrics of the outpost and the metrics of the core authentik server are both returned under the same endpoint.

### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Since the outpost uses OAuth2, there is some configuration required.
|
||||
Since authentik doesn't know it's own "primary" URL, there might be some configuration required.
|
||||
|
||||
On a fresh authentik install, your Outpost list will look like this:
|
||||
By default, when opening the admin dashboard on a fresh install, authentik will automatically configure the outpost to use the same URL as was used to access authentik.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Click the edit button on the right of the column, and set the value of `authentik_host` to the URL you want to login with.
|
||||
If this isn't correct, or needs to be changed, click the edit button on the right of the outpost, and set the value of `authentik_host` to the URL you want to login with.
|
||||
Make sure to set it to full URL, only configuring a hostname or FQDN will not work.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, most of the other configuration options can be used as with any other outpost, except from items which are marked as "non-embedded"
