authentik on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

authentik on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

A production-ready authentik identity provider and single sign-on server on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, built and hardened for the Azure Marketplace. authentik is deployed as the vendor-supported container stack (server, worker, PostgreSQL, and Redis) on Docker Engine, staged and enabled to start on first boot.

Who this is for: Platform and security teams who need a self-hosted identity provider on Azure for SSO, SAML, OAuth2/OIDC, and LDAP without assembling the stack by hand.

Target industries: ISVs, regulated industries, and any organization centralizing authentication and single sign-on across internal and customer-facing applications.

Value proposition: Standing up a secure authentik server on Azure means installing a container runtime, staging the multi-service stack, and hardening the host. This image does that for you:

• Vendor-supported container stack — server, worker, PostgreSQL, and Redis staged on Docker Engine installed from the official Docker repository; the stack starts on first boot
• No claimable open instance — the bootstrap administrator password and API token are generated per-VM at first boot, never baked into the image
• Monthly patched & hardened — rebuilt each month from the upstream base with the latest OS security updates; hardened to Microsoft's Azure Marketplace certification standards before any version is published
• Ready to run — the service is installed, enabled, and configured to start on boot, so the VM is productive minutes after deployment instead of after a manual install
• Audit trail per release — build and certification evidence retained for every published image version, available for compliance audits and change-management documentation

Plans available:

• authentik on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS — Gen2 — Trusted Launch-capable Gen2 VM image; free image (standard Azure compute and storage rates apply). authentik core is open-source software under the MIT license.

Supported software and integrations: SAML, OAuth2 / OIDC, LDAP, SCIM; Docker Engine, Azure Application Gateway, Azure Monitor, Azure Virtual Network.

Recommended deployment: Standard_D4as_v5 or larger; Premium SSD for the data volume. Front the web UI with Azure Application Gateway or a reverse proxy for TLS; integrate your applications over SAML or OIDC.
