ZITADEL is a free and open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that provides businesses with secure user management and authentication. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing ZITADEL on Elementary OS Latest.
Before you start with the installation process, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, open a terminal window and clone the ZITADEL repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/caos/zitadel.git
This will clone the latest version of the ZITADEL repository to your current directory.
Before we can run ZITADEL, we need to configure a few environment variables. Navigate to the cloned repository directory and create a new .env file by copying the .env.example file:
cd zitadel
cp .env.example .env
Now open the .env file with your favorite text editor and configure the following variables according to your environment:
DB_PASSWORD=<your_db_password>
COOKIE_SECRET=<your_cookie_secret>
SERVER_DOMAIN=<your_server_domain>
Now that we've got everything set up, let's start the ZITADEL server by running the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will download and configure the necessary Docker images, and will start the ZITADEL server in detached mode. Wait for a few seconds until the server has started.
Once ZITADEL is running, you can access the web interface using your favorite web browser by visiting http://your_server_domain (assuming you've configured the SERVER_DOMAIN variable properly in the .env file). You can log in using the default admin credentials (username: admin@zitadel.ch, password: adminadmin).
Congratulations! You've successfully installed ZITADEL on Elementary OS Latest. You can now start managing your users and authentication in a secure and flexible manner.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
