ZITADEL is an open-source identity and access management (IAM) solution that helps businesses manage their user identities, access controls, and authentication protocols. In this tutorial, we'll guide you step-by-step through the process of installing ZITADEL on the latest version of POP! OS.
Before we begin, you'll need:
To install ZITADEL, we first need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y git curl build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-dev python3-pip
Next, clone the ZITADEL repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/caos/zitadel.git
ZITADEL is a containerized application, so we need to install Docker and Docker Compose. Execute the following commands:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
sudo apt install -y docker-compose
Now, verify that you have installed Docker and Docker Compose correctly:
docker --version
docker-compose --version
Now we're ready to run ZITADEL. In the terminal, navigate to the ZITADEL directory:
cd zitadel
Start the application by running the following command:
sudo docker-compose up
This command starts the ZITADEL application on your machine. You should see a lot of output in your terminal as the Docker Compose service starts. If everything goes well, you should see a message similar to the following:
go_1 | time="2021-10-05T11:46:26Z" level=info msg="Starting HTTP server on 0.0.0.0:8080"
ZITADEL is now running on your local machine. You can access the application by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
You should see the ZITADEL login screen. From here, you can create new users, manage existing users, and configure access controls and authentication protocols.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ZITADEL on POP! OS and started the application. Now you're ready to start exploring the features of ZITADEL and managing your user identities and access controls.
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!
