title: Full development environment
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.10
|
|
- poetry, which is used to manage dependencies, and can be installed with `pip install poetry`
|
|
- Go 1.18
|
|
- PostgreSQL (any recent version will do)
|
|
- Redis (any recent version will do)
|
|
- Node 16 (or later)
|
|
|
|
## Services Setup
|
|
|
|
For PostgreSQL and Redis, you can use the docker-compose file in `scripts/`.
|
|
You can also use a native install, if you prefer.
|
|
|
|
## Backend Setup
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
poetry shell # Creates a python virtualenv, and activates it in a new shell
|
|
poetry install # Install all required dependencies, including development dependencies
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To configure authentik to use the local databases, create a file in the authentik directory called `local.env.yml`, with the following contents
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
debug: true
|
|
postgresql:
|
|
user: postgres
|
|
|
|
log_level: debug
|
|
secret_key: "A long key you can generate with `pwgen 40 1` for example"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To apply database migrations, run `make migrate`. This is needed after the initial setup, and whenever you fetch new source from upstream.
|
|
|
|
Generally speaking, authentik is a Django application, ran by gunicorn, proxied by a Go application. The Go application serves static files.
|
|
|
|
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@1.1.136`, which can be installed with npm.
|
|
|
|
Run `make gen` to generate an updated OpenAPI document for any changes you made.
|
|
|
|
## Frontend Setup
|
|
|
|
By default, no compiled bundle of the frontend is included so this step is required even if you're not developing for the UI.
|
|
|
|
To build the UI once, run `web-build`.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you want to live-edit the UI, you can run `make web-watch` instead.
|
|
This will immediately update the UI with any changes you make so you can see the results in real time without needing to rebuild.
|
|
|
|
To format the frontend code, run `make web`.
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Now that the backend and frontend have been setup and built, you can start authentik by running `make run`. authentik should now be accessible at `http://localhost:9000`.
