ZITADEL is an open source identity and access management system developed by CAOS AG. In this tutorial, we will install ZITADEL on EndeavourOS using the command line interface.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following requirements met:
We need to install the following dependencies before we install ZITADEL:
$ sudo pacman -S git go gcc make
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can begin downloading and building ZITADEL.
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/caos
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/caos
$ git clone https://github.com/caos/zitadel.git
$ cd zitadel
$ make build
ZITADEL requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. Let's start by installing and configuring the PostgreSQL:
$ sudo pacman -S postgresql
$ sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql
Once PostgreSQL is installed and running, let's create a new database and user for ZITADEL:
$ sudo -iu postgres
$ createuser zitadel
$ createdb -O zitadel zitadel
$ psql zitadel
The last command will open the PostgreSQL shell. Let's create the required tables by running the SQL commands from the file:
zitadel=> \i schema/postgres.sql
Finally, exit the PostgreSQL shell using the command below:
zitadel=> \q
Now it's time to start ZITADEL and configure it.
$ ./bin/zitadel -configfile ./testdata/zitadel.yaml
After starting ZITADEL, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
That's it. You have successfully installed and configured ZITADEL on EndeavourOS. Note that this is just a basic setup, and you can configure ZITADEL further to suit your needs.
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!
