If you want to only make changes on the UI, you don't need a backend running from source. You can user the docker-compose install with a few customizations.
If you're focusing solely on frontend development, you can create a minimal development environment using Docker and Node.js. This setup allows you to make and preview changes to the frontend in real-time, without needing to interact with the backend.
### Prerequisites
- Node.js (any recent version should work; we use 22.x to build)
- Make (again, any recent version should work)
- Docker and Docker Compose
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) (22 or later)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) (Latest Community Edition or Docker Desktop)
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) (Compose v2)
- [Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) (3 or later)
:::info
Depending on platform, some native dependencies might be required. On macOS, run `brew install node@22`, and for Docker `brew install --cask docker`
:::
### Instructions
1. Clone the git repo from https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik.
2. In the cloned repository, follow the docker-compose installation instructions [here](../../install-config/install/docker-compose).
3. Add the following entry to your `.env` file:
1. Clone the Git repo to your development machine and navigate to the authentik directory.
```shell
git clone https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik
cd authentik
```
:::info Beta images
By default, authentik will use the latest stable Docker images.
You can opt into using beta images during development by creating a `.env` file in the root of the repository with the following variables:
```shell
AUTHENTIK_IMAGE=ghcr.io/goauthentik/dev-server
AUTHENTIK_TAG=gh-next
AUTHENTIK_OUTPOSTS__CONTAINER_IMAGE_BASE=ghcr.io/goauthentik/dev-%(type)s:gh-next
AUTHENTIK_LOG_LEVEL=debug
```
This will cause authentik to use the beta images.
:::
4. Add this volume mapping to your compose file.
2. From the cloned repository, follow the Docker Compose [installation instructions](../../install-config/install/docker-compose).
```yaml
3. Create a Docker Compose override to mount the local configuration file (`local.env.yml`) and ESBuild's output directory (`web`).
```yaml title="docker-compose.override.yml"
services:
# [...]
server:
# [...]
volumes:
- ./web:/web
- ./local.env.yml:/local.env.yml
```
This makes the local web files and the config file available to the authentik server.
By creating this file in the root of the repository, Docker will automatically mount the web files generated by the build process. The `local.env.yml` mount is optional, but allows you to override the default configuration.
5. Run `docker compose up -d` to apply those changes to your containers.
6. `cd web`
7. Run `npm i` and then `npm run watch` to start the build process.
4. From the cloned repository root, install the front-end dependencies using NPM.
```shell
cd web
npm ci
```
5. From the cloned repository root, run the front-end build script.
```shell
make web-watch
```
6. In a new terminal, navigate to the cloned repository root and start the backend containers with Docker Compose.
```shell
docker compose up
```
You can now access authentik on http://localhost:9000 (or https://localhost:9443).
