How to install ZITADEL on EndeavourOS Latest

ZITADEL is an open source identity and access management system developed by CAOS AG. In this tutorial, we will install ZITADEL on EndeavourOS using the command line interface.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following requirements met:

• EndeavourOS installed and running.
• A sudo user account to perform administrative tasks.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

We need to install the following dependencies before we install ZITADEL:

$ sudo pacman -S git go gcc make

Step 2: Download and Build ZITADEL

Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can begin downloading and building ZITADEL.

$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/caos
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/caos
$ git clone https://github.com/caos/zitadel.git
$ cd zitadel
$ make build

Step 3: Setup the Database

ZITADEL requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. Let's start by installing and configuring the PostgreSQL:

$ sudo pacman -S postgresql
$ sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql

Once PostgreSQL is installed and running, let's create a new database and user for ZITADEL:

$ sudo -iu postgres
$ createuser zitadel
$ createdb -O zitadel zitadel
$ psql zitadel

The last command will open the PostgreSQL shell. Let's create the required tables by running the SQL commands from the file:

zitadel=> \i schema/postgres.sql

Finally, exit the PostgreSQL shell using the command below:

zitadel=> \q

Step 4: Start and configure ZITADEL

Now it's time to start ZITADEL and configure it.

$ ./bin/zitadel -configfile ./testdata/zitadel.yaml

After starting ZITADEL, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.

Conclusion

That's it. You have successfully installed and configured ZITADEL on EndeavourOS. Note that this is just a basic setup, and you can configure ZITADEL further to suit your needs.
