Hey,

I want to increase the number of workers in my deploymnet, to do it I have changed the .env

AUTHENTIK_WORKER__PROCESSES=2
AUTHENTIK_WORKER__THREADS=4

What I need to change in the docker-compose ? In order to spawn more 1 container ?

you just need to duplicate the block for your worker

#

or if you're using something like docker swarm you can set replicas to 2

#

but realistically, 99% of homelab users have enough of 1 worker

Is not a home lab environment 🙂

Thank you for your answer

Oh, sorry I misremembered the name — in compose it’s scale https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/services/#scale

Note I haven’t tried it with Authentik, but it should “just work”

…do you mean mine? I stole and hacked up the theme from https://git.32bit.cafe/kaylee/authentik-win95-setup maybe I should clean up my fork of it and put it on my GitHub lmao

#

The admin panel is kind of awful with it though fyi
