Automated install

To install authentik automatically (skipping the Out-of-box experience), you can use the following environment variables:

AUTHENTIK_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD

Configure the default password for the akadmin user. Only read on the first startup. Can be used for any flow executor.

AUTHENTIK_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN

:::note Requires authentik 2021.8 :::

Create a token for the default akadmin user. Only read on the first startup. The string you specify for this variable is the token key you can use to authenticate yourself to the API.

AUTHENTIK_BOOTSTRAP_EMAIL

:::note Requires authentik 2023.3 :::

Set the email address for the default akadmin user.
