title: Kubernetes installation
 |

 |

 | 
						|
You can install authentik to run on Kubernetes using Helm Chart.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
:::info
 | 
						|
You can also [view a video walk-through](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1qUbrk4Yc8) of the installation process on Kubernetes (with bonus details about email configuration and other important options).
 | 
						|
:::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Requirements
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-   Kubernetes
 | 
						|
-   Helm
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Generate Passwords
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Start by generating passwords for the database and cache. You can use either of the following commands:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
pwgen -s 50 1
 | 
						|
openssl rand -base64 36
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Set Values
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Create a `values.yaml` file with a minimum of these settings:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
authentik:
 | 
						|
    secret_key: "PleaseGenerateA50CharKey"
 | 
						|
    # This sends anonymous usage-data, stack traces on errors and
 | 
						|
    # performance data to sentry.io, and is fully opt-in
 | 
						|
    error_reporting:
 | 
						|
        enabled: true
 | 
						|
    postgresql:
 | 
						|
        password: "ThisIsNotASecurePassword"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ingress:
 | 
						|
    # Specify kubernetes ingress controller class name
 | 
						|
    ingressClassName: nginx | traefik | kong
 | 
						|
    enabled: true
 | 
						|
    hosts:
 | 
						|
        # Specify external host name
 | 
						|
        - host: authentik.domain.tld
 | 
						|
          paths:
 | 
						|
              - path: "/"
 | 
						|
                pathType: Prefix
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
postgresql:
 | 
						|
    enabled: true
 | 
						|
    postgresqlPassword: "ThisIsNotASecurePassword"
 | 
						|
redis:
 | 
						|
    enabled: true
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See all configurable values on [ArtifactHub](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/goauthentik/authentik).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Install authentik Helm Chart
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now, execute the following commands to install authentik
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
helm repo add authentik https://charts.goauthentik.io
 | 
						|
helm repo update
 | 
						|
helm upgrade --install authentik authentik/authentik -f values.yaml
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
During the installation process, the database migrations will be applied automatically on startup.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Accessing authentik
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Once the installation is complete, access authentik at `https://<ingress-host-name>/if/flow/initial-setup/`. Here, you can set a password for the default akadmin user.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Optional step: Configure global email credentials
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It is recommended to configure global email credentials as well. These are used by authentik to notify you about alerts and configuration issues. Additionally, they can be utilized by [Email stages](../flow/stages/email/index.mdx) to send verification and recovery emails.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To configure this, append this block to your `values.yaml` file:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
# add this block under the `authentik:` block in your values.yaml file
 | 
						|
# authentik:
 | 
						|
email:
 | 
						|
    # -- SMTP Server emails are sent from, fully optional
 | 
						|
    host: ""
 | 
						|
    port: 587
 | 
						|
    # -- SMTP credentials, when left empty, no authentication will be done
 | 
						|
    username: ""
 | 
						|
    # -- SMTP credentials, when left empty, no authentication will be done
 | 
						|
    password: ""
 | 
						|
    # -- Enable either use_tls or use_ssl, they can't be enabled at the same time.
 | 
						|
    use_tls: false
 | 
						|
    # -- Enable either use_tls or use_ssl, they can't be enabled at the same time.
 | 
						|
    use_ssl: false
 | 
						|
    # -- Connection timeout
 | 
						|
    timeout: 30
 | 
						|
    # -- Email from address, can either be in the format "foo@bar.baz" or "authentik <foo@bar.baz>"
 | 
						|
    from: ""
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By following these steps, you will successfully install and set up authentik on Kubernetes using Helm.
