Prerequisites

​
Deployment Steps

  1. Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content:
services:
  app:
    image: identety/identety:latest
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@db:5432/identety
      - API_KEY=your-secure-api-key
    depends_on:
      - db

  db:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
      - POSTGRES_DB=identety
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"

volumes:
  postgres_data:
  1. Replace your-secure-api-key with a strong API key. This key will be used to secure your Identety deployment.
  2. Start the services using Docker Compose: 
docker-compose up -d
This command will download the necessary Docker images and start Identety and its PostgreSQL database in the background.
  1. Access the Identety API at http://localhost:3000. You can now start making API requests to the Identety endpoints.

​
Manual Docker Setup

If you prefer to run Identety using Docker without Docker Compose, you can use the following command: 
docker run \
  --name identety \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=<your-database-url> \
  -e API_KEY=your-secure-api-key \
  identety/identety:latest
Replace <your-database-url> with the URL of your PostgreSQL database. For example: 
postgresql://user:password@host:5432/identety
If you want to pass locallly installed postgresql url to docker contaier, use host.docker.internal: as host name.For example: postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/identety will be changed to postgresql://user:password@host.docker.internal:5432/identety
Ensure that you have a running PostgreSQL database accessible at the provided URL.

​
Next Steps

With Identety up and running, you can now:
  • Configure your authentication providers
  • Register client applications
  • Define roles and permissions
  • Integrate Identety into your applications
Refer to the API documentation for detailed information on using the Identety endpoints.
