Outposts |
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.
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 "Service Connections".
- If you've deployed authentik on docker-compose, authentik automatically creates a Service Connection for the local docker socket.
- If you've deployed authentik on Kubernetes, with
kubernetesIntegration
set to true (default), authentik automatically creates a Service Connection for the local Kubernetes Cluster.
To deploy an outpost with these service connections, 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:
Configuration
Outposts fetch their configuration from authentik. Below are all the options you can set, and how they influence the outpost.
# Log level that the outpost will set
log_level: debug
# Enable/disable error reporting for the outpost, based on the authentik settings
error_reporting_enabled: true
error_reporting_environment: beryjuorg-prod
