# Authentik Podman quadlets setup This contains some podman quadlet files for use with podman+systemd, it uses podman's `pods` feature. You will need to make sure the following directories exist before you use these: - /etc/authentik/ - /var/lib/authentik - /var/lib/authentik/certs - /var/lib/authentik/media - /var/lib/authentik/custom-templates - /var/lib/authentik/postgresql/data ## Setup To set this up, copy the `.env` file from this directory and populate it with your preferred values. Make sure all directories exist, and copy the `.container` files and the `authentik.pod` into `/etc/containers/systemd/` Then, `systemd daemon-reload`, and `systemctl enable authentik-pod`. Authentik should now automatically start the entire set of services on boot. You can, optionally, hook Authentik up to an existing postgresql server, either one in a container or else. In that case there will be some extra setup involved that I won't cover here.
