### Application Server

https://goauthentik.io/docs/installation/docker-compose

Generate `PG_PASS` and `AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY` using `openssl rand -base64 40 / 50`

```sh
podman run --name authentik_server \
    -e PG_PASS={RANDOM PASS} \
    -e AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY={RANDOM SECRET} \
    -e AUTHENTIK_REDIS__HOST=authentik_redis \
    -e AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__HOST=authentik_db \
    -e AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__USER={DB USER} \
    -e AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__NAME={DB NAME} \
    -e AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__PASSWORD={DB PASS} \
    # SMTP Host Emails are sent to
    -e AUTHENTIK_EMAIL__HOST={SMTP SERVER} \
    -e AUTHENTIK_EMAIL__PORT=465 \
    # Optionally authenticate (don't add quotation marks to your password)
    -e AUTHENTIK_EMAIL__USERNAME={SMTP USER} \
    -e AUTHENTIK_EMAIL__PASSWORD={SMTP PASS} \
    # Use StartTLS
    -e AUTHENTIK_EMAIL__USE_TLS=false \
    # Use SSL
    -e AUTHENTIK_EMAIL__USE_SSL=true \
    -e AUTHENTIK_EMAIL__TIMEOUT=10 \
    # Email address authentik will send from, should have a correct @domain
    -e AUTHENTIK_EMAIL__FROM={EMAIL} \
    -v /mnt/authentik/media:/media \
    -v /mnt/authentik/templates:/templates \
    -v /mnt/authentik/geoip:/geoip \
