title: Outposts
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
An outpost is a single deployment of a authentik component, which can be deployed in a completely separate environment. Currently, only the Proxy Provider is supported as outpost.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Upon creation, a service account and a token is generated. The service account only has permissions to read the outpost and provider configuration. This token is used by the Outpost to connect to authentik.
|
|
|
|
authentik can manage the deployment, updating and general lifecycle of an Outpost. To communicate with the underlying platforms on which the outpost is deployed, authentik has "Service Connections".
|
|
|
|
- If you've deployed authentik on docker-compose, authentik automatically create a Service Connection for the local docker socket.
|
|
- If you've deployed authentik on Kubernetes, with `kubernetesIntegration` set to true (default), authentik automatically creates a Service Connection for the local Kubernetes Cluster.
|
|
|
|
To deploy an outpost with these service connections, simply selected them during the creation of an Outpost. A background task is started, which creates the container/deployment. You can see that Status on the System Tasks page.
|
|
|
|
To deploy an outpost manually, see:
|
|
|
|
- [Kubernetes](./manual-deploy-kubernetes.md)
|
|
- [docker-compose](./manual-deploy-docker-compose.md)
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Outposts fetch their configuration from authentik. Below are all the options you can set, and how they influence the outpost.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Log level that the outpost will set
|
|
log_level: debug
|
|
# Enable/disable error reporting for the outpost, based on the authentik settings
|
|
error_reporting_enabled: true
|
|
error_reporting_environment: beryjuorg-prod
