authentik documentation source

This directory contains the source files for the authentik technical documentation, integration guides, and API documentation.

Contributions are welcome! Please refer to our contributor guidelines for details about contributing code or docs.

For instructions to set up your local environment for building docs locally, refer to our Docs development environment page.

For instructions for writing the docs and then testing in your local build, plus tips on writing, links to our Style Guide and templates, see the Writing documentation guide.

To ensure a smooth review process, we encourage you to build the documentation locally to preview and test your documentation contributions. Be sure to test locally before opening a pull request. Let us know if you have any questions or want help with any part of the process.

Package structure

At the root of the website directory is a package.json file that defines an NPM Workspace. This allows us to have multiple packages in the same repository, and to install their dependencies via a single command: make docs-install

    style HoistedDependencies text-align:left

NPM packages which are in a parent workspace share a common node_modules directory. Sibling packages define their dependencies in their own package.json files. The dependencies which they share in common are lifted or "hoisted" to the parent node_modules directory.

Topics (AKA "The Docs")

The website/docs directory contains documentation on how to use authentik. It is organized into topics, which are defined by the sidebar.mjs file.

Integrations

The website/integrations directory contains documentation on how to use authentik with various third-party services.

API

The website/api directory contains documentation on the authentik API.

Deployment

Deployment is handled by a combination of Netlify and GitHub Action workflows.
