Automated install

To install authentik automatically (skipping the Out-of-box experience), you can use the following environment variables:

AUTHENTIK_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD or AK_ADMIN_PASS​

Configure the default password for the akadmin user. Only read on the first startup. Can be used for any flow executor.

For versions before 2022.6, this variable was called AK_ADMIN_PASS. This will be removed in 2022.7

AUTHENTIK_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN or AK_ADMIN_TOKEN​

note
