title: Outposts
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An outpost is a single deployment of a authentik component, which can be deployed in a completely separate environment. Currently, Proxy Provider and LDAP are supported as outposts.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Upon creation, a service account and a token is generated. The service account only has permissions to read the outpost and provider configuration. This token is used by the Outpost to connect to authentik.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
authentik can manage the deployment, updating and general lifecycle of an Outpost. To communicate with the underlying platforms on which the outpost is deployed, authentik has "Service Connections".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- If you've deployed authentik on docker-compose, authentik automatically creates a Service Connection for the local docker socket.
 | 
						|
- If you've deployed authentik on Kubernetes, with `kubernetesIntegration` set to true (default), authentik automatically creates a Service Connection for the local Kubernetes Cluster.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To deploy an outpost with these service connections, simply select them during the creation of an Outpost. A background task is started, which creates the container/deployment. You can see that Status on the System Tasks page.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To deploy an outpost manually, see:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- [Kubernetes](./manual-deploy-kubernetes.md)
 | 
						|
- [docker-compose](./manual-deploy-docker-compose.md)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Outposts fetch their configuration from authentik. Below are all the options you can set, and how they influence the outpost.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
# Log level that the outpost will set
 | 
						|
log_level: debug
 | 
						|
# Enable/disable error reporting for the outpost, based on the authentik settings
 | 
						|
error_reporting_enabled: true
 | 
						|
error_reporting_environment: beryjuorg-prod
