TL;DR

I need permission to run package listing commands. The auto-approved commands on this system don’t include dpkg or apt. Would you like me to proceed with running one of these commands?…

The Problem

can provide me with a list of packages that we have installed on this machine

search the saved-state histories for any docs refering to migrating to authelia

The Solution

I need permission to run package listing commands. The auto-approved commands on this system don’t include dpkg or apt. Would you like me to proceed with running one of these commands?

Key technologies used:

  • Api
  • Auth
  • Authentik
  • Backup
  • Client
  • Code

Implementation

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

  • Access to your target system (Linux recommended)
  • Basic command-line knowledge
  • Required software installed (Docker/Podman, etc.)

Step 1: Configuration

dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' | head -100
dpkg --get-selections
apt list --installed 2>/dev/null | head -100

Step 2: Configuration

ls -la /root/.state-history/
mkdir -p /opt/pods/authentik/{media,certs,custom-templates,database,redis}
openssl rand -base64 60 | tr -d '\n' | head -c 64

Step 3: Configuration

openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '\n'
chmod 600 /opt/pods/authentik/.env
cd /opt/pods/authentik && podman-compose up -d

Step 4: Configuration

podman ps --filter "name=authentik" --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
sleep 10 && curl -sI https://auth.srk9.cloud 2>&1 | head -5
podman logs authentik-server --tail 30

Step 5: Configuration

podman logs authentik-server 2>&1 | tail -30
sleep 30 && podman logs authentik-server 2>&1 | tail -20
sleep 45 && podman logs authentik-server 2>&1 | tail -15

Step 6: Configuration

curl -sI https://auth.srk9.cloud 2>&1 | head -10
systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart homarr
systemctl status homarr --no-pager | head -10

Results

After completing this implementation:

  • System is properly configured and operational
  • All services running as expected
  • Configuration verified and tested

Lessons Learned

  1. Start with documentation - Always review official docs first
  2. Test incrementally - Verify each step before moving on
  3. Keep backups - Snapshot before major changes
  4. Monitor logs - Watch for errors during implementation

Next Steps

  • Review and customize configurations for your environment
  • Set up monitoring and alerting
  • Document your specific setup
  • Plan for updates and maintenance
