Authentik on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Authentik on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Authentik is a modern, open-source Identity Provider and Single Sign-On solution. Centralize authentication for your applications with SAML, OAuth2/OpenID Connect, LDAP, and SCIM; build flexible login flows, MFA, and access policies — all self-hosted for complete control. This image is built and maintained by cloudimg on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

### What's included

• The Authentik stack (server, worker, PostgreSQL, Redis) via Docker Compose, managed by systemd
• The Authentik web UI and flow interface on port 80; backing services stay on the private network
• A default `akadmin` superuser seeded with a unique password on first boot (no shared default), with all secrets rotated per VM
• Configuration, media, and the database stored on a dedicated managed data disk
• Automatic security updates enabled

### Getting started

Retrieve the generated admin credentials with `sudo cat /root/authentik-credentials.txt`, then sign in as `akadmin` at the VM's public IP. Create applications and providers to connect your services via SAML or OIDC. The deployment guide on cloudimg.co.uk covers providers, flows, and integrations.
