In TNS version 25.04.1, and Authentik app version 2025.6.3, there is no option for a bootstrap password setting field, and environmental fields are offered. I’ve set two environmental fields: AUTHENTIK_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD, and AUTHENTIK_DEFAULT_PASSWORD to my desired login password, but both fail, disallowing access to the server UI. How do I set the initial server UI password?
There is no default password; you set up the admin password at first login. To do that, you need to browse to http://ip:port/if/flow/initial-setup/, where ip:port represents the IP and port used by your Authentik installation.
Thanks for the reply. Now that URL for initial setup is not indicated as an option for first login in the “Application Info” or “Notes” tiles, and it should be. So whomever is setting up this app needs to do that as an initial link for setup. Sometimes it’s hard to state the obvious.
That would be good, to be sure, but users need to get accustomed to checking the docs for the software they’re installing–that’s where I got that URL.
Agreed on checking the Docs, which is what I did, but that link information didn’t come up on a quick look and I just didn’t feel like digging any deeper at that moment just to get initial access.
It’s always easy to just say dig into the Docs for the information you need and that’s true, but why not just state it in the install notes like all the others?
You can always PR the information yourself on the TrueNAS GitHub (GitHub - truenas/apps). With the community apps, there’s little to no documentation, so basically, if the person who provides the app doesn’t document this on top of doing the work for adding the app to the catalog, then the community or someone else has to step
