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 (adminsgroup)mfa.yaml— MFA enforcement on the default authentication flow (not_configured_action: configure)- One blueprint per OIDC client (provider, application, and policy binding):
grafana.yaml,forgejo.yaml,zot.yaml,argocd.yaml,jellyfin.yaml,mealie.yaml,paperless.yaml,heph.yaml
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 | Type |
|---|---|
| grafana | Confidential |
| forgejo | Confidential |
| zot | Confidential |
| argocd | Public (PKCE, shared by web UI and CLI) |
| jellyfin | Confidential |
| mealie | Confidential |
| paperless | Confidential |
| heph | Public (PKCE, with offline_access for spoke sync refresh tokens) |
Future clients: 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 |
postgresql-host / -port / -name / -user / -password |
PostgreSQL connection |
<client>-client-secret |
OIDC client secret, one per confidential client (grafana, forgejo, zot, jellyfin, mealie, paperless) |
The item also holds an api-token field (Authentik API access for admin scripting); it is not synced into the cluster.
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.
