# Authentik
|
|
|
|
OIDC identity provider for BlumeOps. Authentik is the **source of truth** for user identity — users are created and managed in Authentik, and services authenticate against it via OIDC.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Reference
|
|
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
|----------|-------|
|
|
| **URL** | https://authentik.ops.eblu.me |
|
|
| **Admin UI** | https://authentik.ops.eblu.me/if/admin/ |
|
|
| **Tailscale URL** | https://authentik.tail8d86e.ts.net |
|
|
| **Namespace** | `authentik` |
|
|
| **Cluster** | k3s (ringtail) |
|
|
| **Manifests** | `argocd/manifests/authentik/` |
|
|
| **Container build** | `containers/authentik/default.nix` |
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
Authentik runs on [[ringtail]]'s k3s cluster, isolated from the main services on indri's minikube. This means the IdP is independent of the minikube cluster lifecycle.
|
|
|
|
Three deployments:
|
|
- **server** — HTTP/HTTPS interface, handles OIDC flows
|
|
- **worker** — Background tasks, blueprint application
|
|
- **redis** — Caching, sessions, task queue
|
|
|
|
## Database
|
|
|
|
Uses the shared CNPG `blumeops-pg` cluster on [[indri]], accessed cross-cluster via `pg.ops.eblu.me:5432`. Database `authentik` with managed role.
|
|
|
|
## Blueprints
|
|
|
|
Authentik configuration is managed via Blueprints (YAML) stored as a ConfigMap mounted into the worker at `/blueprints/custom/`. Current blueprints:
|
|
|
|
- **`common.yaml`** — shared identity resources (`admins` group)
|
|
- **`mfa.yaml`** — MFA enforcement on the default authentication flow (`not_configured_action: configure`)
|
|
- **`grafana.yaml`** — Grafana OAuth2 provider, application, and policy binding
|
|
- **`forgejo.yaml`** — Forgejo OAuth2 provider, application, and policy binding
|
|
- **`zot.yaml`** — Zot registry OAuth2 provider, application, and policy binding
|
|
|
|
Group membership is included in the `profile` scope claim (Authentik built-in). Services use `--group-claim-name groups` to read it.
|
|
|
|
Blueprint file: `argocd/manifests/authentik/configmap-blueprint.yaml`
|

|
## OIDC Clients
|
|
|
|
| Client | Status |
|
|
|--------|--------|
|
|
| [[grafana]] | Active |
|
|
| [[forgejo]] | Active |
|
|
| [[zot]] | Active |
|
|
|
|
Future clients: [[argocd]], [[miniflux]]
|
|
|
|
## Secrets
|
|
|
|
Injected via [[external-secrets]] from the "Authentik (blumeops)" 1Password item (see [[create-authentik-secrets]] for setup).
|
|
|
|
| 1Password Field | Purpose |
|
|
|-----------------|---------|
|
|
| `secret-key` | Authentik secret key |
|
|
| `db-password` | PostgreSQL password |
|
|
| `grafana-client-secret` | OIDC client secret for Grafana |
|
|
| `forgejo-client-secret` | OIDC client secret for Forgejo |
|
|
| `zot-client-secret` | OIDC client secret for Zot |
|
|
| `api-token` | Authentik API token |
|
|
|
|
## Container Image
|
|
|
|
Nix-built via `dockerTools.buildLayeredImage`. The entrypoint wrapper symlinks built-in blueprint directories from the Nix store into `/blueprints/` at runtime, allowing custom blueprints to coexist with defaults. `AUTHENTIK_BLUEPRINTS_DIR=/blueprints` overrides the hardcoded Nix store path.
