How to Install ZITADEL on Void Linux

ZITADEL is an identity and access management platform designed to help organizations secure their applications and data. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install ZITADEL on Void Linux.

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

• Void Linux installed
• Docker and Docker Compose installed

Step 1: Clone the ZITADEL repository

The first step is to clone the ZITADEL repository. Open a terminal window and execute the following command:

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

This will clone the ZITADEL repository into your current directory.

Step 2: Configure the environment variables

Next, you need to configure the environment variables required for the ZITADEL application. Navigate to the zitadel directory and create a .env file using the following command:

cd zitadel
cp env.example .env

Edit the .env file and set the values for the following variables:

• ZITADEL_DOMAIN: The domain name for the ZITADEL application
• ZITADEL_EMAIL: The email address to use for system notifications
• ZITADEL_EMAIL_SERVER: The email server to use for sending emails
• ZITADEL_EMAIL_PORT: The email server port to use
• ZITADEL_EMAIL_USERNAME: The email server username
• ZITADEL_EMAIL_PASSWORD: The email server password

Step 3: Start the ZITADEL application

Once the environment variables are configured, you can start the ZITADEL application using Docker Compose. Execute the following command to start Docker Compose:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This command will start the ZITADEL application in the background. You can use the -d flag to run the application as a daemon.

Step 4: Verify the installation

You can verify the installation of ZITADEL by accessing the application in your web browser. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost. If you configured the ZITADEL_DOMAIN variable to a different value, replace localhost with the domain name you configured.

You should see the ZITADEL login page. Use the default username and password admin to log in.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed ZITADEL on Void Linux.
