title: 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
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The Frontend also uses a generated API client to talk with the backend. To generate this client, you can use the [openapitools/openapi-generator-cli](https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator) CLI tool.
|
|
|
|
If you want to generate the client without installing anything, run this command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker run \
|
|
--rm -v $(pwd):/local \
|
|
openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate \
|
|
-i /local/swagger.yaml \
|
|
-g typescript-fetch \
|
|
-o /local/web/api \
|
|
--additional-properties=typescriptThreePlus=true,supportsES6=true,npmName=authentik-api,npmVersion=1.0.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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.
