How to Install ZITADEL on Manjaro

ZITADEL is an open-source identity and access management platform that allows organizations to manage user authentication, authorization, and permissions. In this tutorial, we will be installing ZITADEL on a Manjaro Linux system.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Manjaro Linux system with sudo privileges
• Docker installed
• Docker Compose installed

Step 1: Clone the ZITADEL repository

To get started, clone the ZITADEL repository from GitHub to your Manjaro system. To do this, open a terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/caos/zitadel.git

This will clone the repository to your current working directory.

Step 2: Configure the environment

Next, navigate to the zitadel directory that was cloned in the previous step. Here, you will find a .env.example file. Copy this file to .env, and then edit the .env file to enter your desired configuration values. For example, you may want to change the default database password or the domain name.

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Step 3: Build the ZITADEL Docker images

With the environment configured, it's time to build the ZITADEL Docker images. To do this, run the following command from within the zitadel directory:

sudo docker-compose build

This command will download and configure all the necessary dependencies from the internet and build the Docker images of ZITADEL.

Step 4: Start the ZITADEL containers

With the Docker images built, it's time to start the ZITADEL containers. To do this, run the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This command will start the ZITADEL containers in the background, leaving them running as daemons.

Step 5: Verify installation

To verify that the installation was successful, open your web browser and navigate to the URL https://localhost. You should see the ZITADEL login page. Log in using the default administrator credentials – these are admin for the username and password for the password.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed ZITADEL on a Manjaro Linux system. You can now use this platform to manage user identity and access within your organization.

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!
