A partner or tenant admin could complete the dezky-operator OIDC flow and
land on the operator portal. The platform-api OperatorGuard already 403s
their data, but the login/UI layer had no authorization check at all — the
only gate was a manual Authentik UI setting with nothing in git enforcing it.
Close it with defense-in-depth across three independent layers:
1. IdP — operator-application.yaml blueprint binds an
ak_is_group_member("dezky-platform-admins") policy to the dezky-operator
app, so Authentik denies the OIDC flow for non-admins. The blueprint also
provisions the provider + application (state: created, so a fresh env is
built from code while an existing hand-made provider is left untouched).
Wire OPERATOR_OIDC_* into both authentik containers and mount the
blueprints dir on the worker (it applies blueprints, and previously lacked
the mount).
2. Operator app — require-platform-admin.global.ts requires platformAdmin and
routes a non-admin to not-authorized.vue, which triggers a full sign-out
(local + Authentik IdP) for shared-workstation safety. Fails open on a
transient /api/me error by design, to avoid mass-signout on platform-api
restarts; layers 1 and 3 contain the exposure.
3. platform-api — OperatorGuard (unchanged) requires dezky-operator audience
plus platformAdmin resolved from the DB on every request.
Also harden the partner surface: it shares the dezky-portal client with tenant
users so it has no IdP gate, and its /partner/* route middleware now fails
CLOSED when identity can't be confirmed.
Docs (AUTHENTIK-SETUP.md) and .env.example updated; the operator client secret
must be set before first boot since the blueprint now consumes it.
Dezky
Sovereign workspace platform for European businesses. Mail, files, calendar, video meetings — all EU-hosted, all open source.
Quick start (local development)
# 1. Clone and enter
git clone <repo-url> dezky
cd dezky
# 2. Run bootstrap (handles everything)
./scripts/bootstrap.sh
# 3. Open the portal
open https://app.dezky.local
The bootstrap script:
- Checks prerequisites (Docker, mkcert, openssl)
- Generates wildcard TLS certificate via mkcert
- Adds /etc/hosts entries (with your permission)
- Generates secure random secrets in
.env - Pulls Docker images
- Starts all services in correct order
- Prints next-step instructions

| Authentik | https://auth.dezky.local | Identity provider (OIDC/SAML) |
| Files (OCIS) | https://files.dezky.local | File storage & sharing |
| Mail (Stalwart) | https://mail.dezky.local | Mail server admin UI |

Architecture
This is a multi-tenant SaaS platform. Each tenant gets:
- Isolated Authentik OIDC tenant
- Custom subdomain (e.g.
customer-name.dezky.local) - Mail domain in Stalwart with auto-generated DKIM
- Dedicated OCIS space hierarchy
- Branded launcher in the portal
All components are Apache 2.0 / MIT licensed — no per-seat fees, full whitelabel rights.
Production
The production target is a single Hetzner AX41-NVMe server (€39/mo) with:
- Stalwart on bare-metal
- k3s for all other services
- Hetzner Object Storage (€5/mo) as OCIS S3 backend
- Storage Box BX11 (€3.20/mo) for Restic backups
- Storage Box BX11 in Helsinki (€3.20/mo) for DR
See docs/PRODUCTION-DEPLOYMENT.md (TBD) for migration plan.
Stack rationale
These choices are deliberate after extensive license/architecture research. See CLAUDE.md for the full reasoning.
| Component | License | Why this one |
|---|---|---|
| Stalwart Mail | Apache 2.0 | Modern Rust, ActiveSync built-in, JMAP support |
| OCIS | Apache 2.0 | Cleaner license than Nextcloud (AGPL+trademark) |
| Zulip | Apache 2.0 | Only truly open-core-free chat option |
| Authentik | MIT | Better multi-tenancy than Keycloak |
| Hetzner | N/A | 100% EU sovereignty — core to business |
