--- title: Configuration --- These are all the configuration options you can set via environment variables. Append any of the following keys to your `.env` file, and run `docker-compose up -d` to apply them. :::info The double-underscores are intentional, as all these settings are translated to yaml internally, a double-underscore indicates the next level. ::: All of these variables can be set to values, but you can also use a URI-like format to load values from other places: - `env://` Loads the value from the environment variable ``. Fallback can be optionally set like `env://?` - `file://` Loads the value from the file ``. Fallback can be optionally set like `file://?` ## Checking settings To check if your config has been applied correctly, you can run the following command to output the full config: ``` docker-compose run --rm worker dump_config # Or for kubernetes kubectl exec -it deployment/authentik-worker -c authentik -- ak dump_config ``` ## PostgreSQL Settings - `AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__HOST`: Hostname of your PostgreSQL Server - `AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__NAME`: Database name - `AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__USER`: Database user - `AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__PORT`: Database port, defaults to 5432 - `AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__PASSWORD`: Database password, defaults to the environment variable `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` - `AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__USE_PGBOUNCER`: Adjust configuration to support connection to PgBouncer ## Redis Settings - `AUTHENTIK_REDIS__HOST`: Hostname of your Redis Server - `AUTHENTIK_REDIS__PORT`: Redis port, defaults to 6379 - `AUTHENTIK_REDIS__PASSWORD`: Password for your Redis Server - `AUTHENTIK_REDIS__DB`: Database, defaults to 0 - `AUTHENTIK_REDIS__CACHE_TIMEOUT`: Timeout for cached data until it expires in seconds, defaults to 300 - `AUTHENTIK_REDIS__CACHE_TIMEOUT_FLOWS`: Timeout for cached flow plans until they expire in seconds, defaults to 300 - `AUTHENTIK_REDIS__CACHE_TIMEOUT_POLICIES`: Timeout for cached policies until they expire in seconds, defaults to 300 - `AUTHENTIK_REDIS__CACHE_TIMEOUT_REPUTATION`: Timeout for cached reputation until they expire in seconds, defaults to 300 ## Listen Setting - `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__HTTP`: Listening address:port (e.g. `0.0.0.0:9000`) for HTTP (Server and Proxy outpost) - `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__HTTPS`: Listening address:port (e.g. `0.0.0.0:9443`) for HTTPS (Server and Proxy outpost) - `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__LDAP`: Listening address:port (e.g. `0.0.0.0:3389`) for LDAP (LDAP outpost) - `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__LDAPS`: Listening address:port (e.g. `0.0.0.0:6636`) for LDAPS (LDAP outpost) - `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__METRICS`: Listening address:port (e.g. `0.0.0.0:9300`) for Prometheus metrics (All) - `AUTHENTIK_LISTEN__DEBUG`: Listening address:port (e.g. `0.0.0.0:9900`) for Go Debugging metrics (All) ## authentik Settings ### `AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY` Secret key used for cookie signing and unique user IDs, don't change this after the first install. ### `AUTHENTIK_LOG_LEVEL` Log level for the server and worker containers.

This has no affect on the core authentik server, but shows additional messages for the embedded outpost. :::danger Setting the log level to `trace` will include sensitive details in logs, so it shouldn't be used in most cases. Logs generated with `trace` should be treated with care as they can give others access to your instance, and can potentially include things like session cookies to authentik **and other pages**. ::: Defaults to `info`. ### `AUTHENTIK_COOKIE_DOMAIN` Which domain the session cookie should be set to. By default, the cookie is set to the domain authentik is accessed under. ### `AUTHENTIK_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK` Disable the inbuilt update-checker.
