| Setting up a local dev environment |
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
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.
Frontend
By default, no transpiled bundle of the frontend is included. To build the UI, you need Node 12 or newer.
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.
