    Docker Install For the 5-Minute Guide

    You’ve chosen to install FusionAuth via docker and docker compose.

    This is the best option if you have docker installed locally or you plan to run FusionAuth in a Docker compatible environment such as Kubernetes and want to learn more about how FusionAuth runs in Docker.

    If you’ve arrived here directly, start with the 5-Minute Setup Guide Overview.

    Requirements

    You need to have Node.js installed. This document has been tested with version 14 and 18, but should work with other versions.

    Testing the Node.js Installation
    
    node -v
    Result Of Testing the Node.js Installation
    
    v18.10.0

    You need to have Docker installed. This document has been tested with Docker version 20, but should work with other versions.

    Testing the Docker Installation
    
    docker -v
    Result Of Testing the Docker Installation
    
    Docker version 20.10.17, build 100c701

    Overview

    Here are steps to take to set up FusionAuth and configure it to provide login and logout functionality for your application.

    1. Install and Start FusionAuth

    2. Complete the Setup Wizard

    3. Create an Application and configure the OAuth settings

    4. Grant Permissions

    5. Configure the Backend to Complete the Login

    6. Store the user object in the session

    7. Test the Application

    8. Logout

    9. Summing Up

    1. Install and Start FusionAuth

    You are following the Docker 5 minute guide, so you’ll use docker-compose.

    To use FusionAuth download the docker-compose.yml and the .env files and then start up the configured containers.

    Download the FusionAuth docker files
    
    curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/master/docker/fusionauth/docker-compose.yml
    curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers/master/docker/fusionauth/.env

    Edit these files as needed. The stock .env file will contain the following values, you will want to modify the DATABASE_PASSWORD and ensure the POSTGRES_USER and POSTGRES_PASSWORD values are correct. You may also override any of these values using environment variables.

    The .env file
    
    POSTGRES_USER=postgres
    POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
    DATABASE_USERNAME=fusionauth
    DATABASE_PASSWORD=hkaLBM3RVnyYeYeqE3WI1w2e4Avpy0Wd5O3s3
    ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
    FUSIONAUTH_APP_MEMORY=512M
    Starting FusionAuth
    
    docker-compose up

    Now you can visit http://localhost:9011 and configure FusionAuth.

    Once the installer completes, you will see something similar to this output on the console:

    Docker Install Complete
    
    fusionauth-1  | 2022-10-29 01:01:16.527 AM INFO  org.primeframework.mvc.netty.PrimeHTTPServer - Starting FusionAuth HTTP server on port [9011]
    fusionauth-1  | 2022-10-29 01:01:16.583 AM INFO  org.primeframework.mvc.netty.PrimeHTTPServer - Starting FusionAuth HTTP loopback server on port [9012]

    And that’s it! Docker makes standing up a FusionAuth instance a snap. Next, create a user by navigating to http://localhost:9011.

    2. Complete the Setup Wizard

    Once FusionAuth starts up successfully, you will be taken to the Setup Wizard. This is where you will create the administrator account for FusionAuth and accept the license.

    Record the email and password you choose for the administrator account. You won’t be able to recover this without setting up an email server, which is beyond the scope of this tutorial.

    You can also sign up for the FusionAuth newsletter, which is a great way to stay up-to-date on FusionAuth releases and new features. We will never pitch you, hard-sell or sell your information, so feel free to sign up.

    Here’s what the Setup Wizard page looks like.

    Setup Wizard

    Clicking Submit here will complete the Setup Wizard and log you into the FusionAuth administrative user interface.

    3. Create an Application and Configure the OAuth settings

    Once you arrive in the FusionAuth admin UI, the first thing you need to do is create an Application. An Application is something that a user can log into. This is the application you are building or that you are migrating to use FusionAuth. Click the Application menu option on the left side of the page or the Setup button in the box at the top of the page.

    Dashboard to Applications

    This will take you to the listing page for Applications. Next, you’ll click the green plus button (the add button) at the top of the page:

    Application Listing

    On the Application form, provide a name for your Application (this is only used for display purposes) and a couple of items on the OAuth tab. Start with a simple setup that allows existing users to log into your application. There is no need to add any roles or registration configuration.

    When you click on the OAuth tab, you’ll see this form.

    Application Form

    Most of the defaults will work, but provide the following items.

    • An authorized redirect URL. This is the route/controller in your application’s backend that will complete the OAuth grant and obtain a token. For this example, add http://localhost:3000/oauth-redirect. You will see example code below for this route.

    • Specify a valid Logout URL. This is where the user will be redirected to after they are logged out of FusionAuth’s OAuth front-end: your application. For this example, set this value to http://localhost:3000/logout. You’ll see how this is used below.

    • Make sure the Authorization Code grant is selected in the Enabled Grants.

    • Set the Require registration field to true.

    Once you have configured the application, you’ll click the blue "Save" button at the top of the page.

    Save Button Application Form

    Then, click on the green magnifying glass on the list view next to your application. Scroll down to the OAuth Configuration section and copy the Client Id and Client Secret values off to a text file. You’ll use them later.

    Application Details

    4. Grant Permissions

    Next, grant the user you created in the Setup Wizard permissions to log into your new Application. This can be done from the User management section of the FusionAuth admin UI. Click the Users link in the navigation. If needed, search for the user.

    Manage the user’s details by clicking on the black "Manage" button.

    User Search

    Once you are in this user’s account, you’ll click the "Add Registration" button. This will take us to a page that will allow us to add a registration for this user to the new Application. Registrations associate users with applications. You may have to select an Application if there are multiple options.

    Registration Add Form

    For this tutorial, you don’t need to provide any additional information for the registration; click the save button at the top.

    Now the user has permissions to log into your application.

    Adding a registration to a user is not always required to let your users log in to your application.

    FusionAuth supports self-service registration. With self-service registration enabled, a registration will be added when a user signs up. Learn more about self-service registration.

    You want to make sure your user account has a first name, which should appear under the picture.

    If they don’t, use the Edit Profile button in the upper right hand corner of the user details screen to edit the account account and give them one. The first name is how they’ll be greeted in the application.

    5. Configure the Backend to Complete the Login

    Before you test the login, examine the route/controller in your application’s backend that will complete the OAuth workflow.

    After a user logs into FusionAuth’s OAuth front-end successfully, their browser will be redirected to the URL you provided in the configuration step above. This redirect will contain a query parameter called code that contains the one-time use OAuth authorization code from FusionAuth.

    Your application code provides the code parameter in a request to FusionAuth. It will exchange the code for an access token, which can be used for a variety of purposes.

    In order to complete the process, you’ll use a sample application, which uses the FusionAuth typescript client library, Express and Pug templates. This code is available for download.

    To get started, clone the project, and navigate to the project directory.

    Get the Example Application Code
    
    git clone https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-example-5-minute-guide \
    && cd fusionauth-example-5-minute-guide

    Here’s a sample .env file, which includes some configuration you’ll need to change.

    The Contents Of the .env.sample File
    
    CLIENT_ID=CHANGEME
    CLIENT_SECRET=CHANGEME
    BASE_URL=http://localhost:9011
    Copy .env.sample To .env
    
    cp .env.sample .env

    Edit the .env file and update the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET values. Set them to the Client Id and the Client Secret you noted when examining the application configuration in a previous step.

    If you are not running locally, change the BASE_URL to the correct value.

    That’s all the changes you need to make to the .env file.

    Next, here’s the package.json file, which includes all the components you’ll need.

    The Contents Of the package.json File
    
    {
      "name": "fusionauth-example-5-minute-guide",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "private": true,
      "scripts": {

        "pkce-challenge": "^2.1.0",
        "pug": "3.0.1"
      }
    }

    Install required packages using npm.

    npm install

    This application is almost ready to run, but let’s look at some code first. Here’s the heart of the application, the main Express router.

    The Node.js Complete Express Router
    
    const express = require('express');
    const router = express.Router();
    const {FusionAuthClient} = require('@fusionauth/typescript-client');
    
    // tag::clientIdSecret[]
    // set in the environment or directly
    const clientId = process.env.CLIENT_ID; // or set directly
    const clientSecret = process.env.CLIENT_SECRET; // or set directly
    // end::clientIdSecret[]
    
    // tag::baseURL[]
    const fusionAuthURL = process.env.BASE_URL;
    // end::baseURL[]
    
    const client = new FusionAuthClient('noapikeyneeded', fusionAuthURL);
    const pkceChallenge = require('pkce-challenge');
    
    // tag::logoutRoute[]
    /* logout page. */
    router.get('/logout', function (req, res, next) {
      req.session.destroy();
      res.redirect(302, '/');
    });
    // end::logoutRoute[]
    
    /* GET home page. */
    router.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
      const stateValue = Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15) + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15) + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15) + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15) + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15) + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15);
      req.session.stateValue = stateValue;
    
      //generate the pkce challenge/verifier dict
      const pkce_pair = pkceChallenge();
      // Store the PKCE verifier in session
      req.session.verifier = pkce_pair['code_verifier'];
      const challenge = pkce_pair['code_challenge'];
      res.render('index', {user: req.session.user, title: 'FusionAuth Example', clientId: clientId, challenge: challenge, stateValue: stateValue, fusionAuthURL: fusionAuthURL});
    });
    
    // tag::fullOAuthCodeExchange[]
    /* OAuth return from FusionAuth */
    router.get('/oauth-redirect', function (req, res, next) {
      const stateFromServer = req.query.state;
      if (stateFromServer !== req.session.stateValue) {
        console.log("State doesn't match. uh-oh.");
        console.log("Saw: " + stateFromServer + ", but expected: " + req.session.stateValue);
        res.redirect(302, '/');
        return;
      }
    
    // tag::exchangeOAuthCode[]
      // This code stores the user in a server-side session
     client.exchangeOAuthCodeForAccessTokenUsingPKCE(req.query.code,
                                                     clientId,
                                                     clientSecret,

                                                     req.session.verifier)
    // end::exchangeOAuthCode[]
          .then((response) => {
            console.log(response.response.access_token);
            return client.retrieveUserUsingJWT(response.response.access_token);
          })
          .then((response) => {
    // tag::setUserInSession[]
            req.session.user = response.response.user;
            return response;
          })
    // end::setUserInSession[]
          .then((response) => {
            res.redirect(302, '/');
          }).catch((err) => {console.log("in error"); console.error(JSON.stringify(err));});
    
    });
    // end::fullOAuthCodeExchange[]
    
      // This code can be set in the last promise above to send the access and refresh tokens
      // back to the browser as secure, HTTP-only cookies, an alternative to storing user info in the session
      //     .then((response) => {
      //       res.cookie('access_token', response.response.access_token, {httpOnly: true});
      //       res.cookie('refresh_token', response.response.refresh_token, {httpOnly: true});
      //       res.redirect(302, '/');
      //     }).catch((err) => {console.log("in error"); console.error(JSON.stringify(err));});
    
    module.exports = router;

    There are three main routes:

    • /logout, which logs the user out by destroying the local session

    • /, which is the home page

    • /oauth-redirect which handles the results of the login at FusionAuth and completes the grant, as mentioned above. After the token is retrieved, the user is stored in the session. This will be discussed further below.

    There are also files under the views directory, which are the views shown to the end user.

    6. Store the User Object In The Session

    There is a route that corresponds to the URL you configured in the FusionAuth admin user interface above (https://localhost:3000/oauth-redirect). This is critical functionality, so let’s take a closer look at this.

    Here’s the complete code for exchanging the token, retrieving the user data, storing it in the session, and redirecting the user.

    The Complete OAuth Code Exchange Function
    
    //...
    /* OAuth return from FusionAuth */
    router.get('/oauth-redirect', function (req, res, next) {
      const stateFromServer = req.query.state;
      if (stateFromServer !== req.session.stateValue) {
        console.log("State doesn't match. uh-oh.");
        console.log("Saw: " + stateFromServer + ", but expected: " + req.session.stateValue);
        res.redirect(302, '/');
        return;
      }
    
      // This code stores the user in a server-side session
     client.exchangeOAuthCodeForAccessTokenUsingPKCE(req.query.code,
                                                     clientId,
                                                     clientSecret,
                                                     'http://localhost:3000/oauth-redirect',
                                                     req.session.verifier)
          .then((response) => {
            console.log(response.response.access_token);
            return client.retrieveUserUsingJWT(response.response.access_token);
          })
          .then((response) => {
            req.session.user = response.response.user;
            return response;
          })
          .then((response) => {
            res.redirect(302, '/');
          }).catch((err) => {console.log("in error"); console.error(JSON.stringify(err));});
    
    });
    //...

    This route retrieves the code parameter from the request and exchanges it for an access token. This access token can be used for a variety of purposes, but in this tutorial is used to retrieve user data from FusionAuth.

    Once you have the User object, it is stored in a server side session so that it can be used in other parts of the application. This includes a view where it is used to greet the user.

    There are other options for storing this user object, but for this tutorial, this will work fine. If you want to learn more, such as other patterns for storing the token, please check out these articles about login workflows.

    The final thing this code does is redirect the authorized user back to the homepage. There, they’ll be greeted by name, as you’ll see below.

    7. Test the Application

    Now that everything is written, let’s test the workflow. Fire up the Node.js application using this command.

    Start the Node.js Server
    
    npm start

    Open http://localhost:3000/ in an incognito browser.

    You need to use an incognito browser because otherwise FusionAuth won’t prompt you to login. You have already logged into FusionAuth when you configured the application above, and will be recognized.

    FusionAuth supports single sign-on, and will automatically redirect you to the application if you are already logged in with the FusionAuth server.

    The Node.js Application Home Screen

    Click the Login link, this will take us to FusionAuth’s login page.

    The Login Screen

    From here, you can log in with the account you used to access the admin user interface above. If you log in with a valid account that is registered for the application, you arrive at the home page, but are greeted by name.

    Successful Login

    In a real application, there’d be a lot more than a "Hello" message, but this is a building block. You’ve successfully authenticated and stored user data in the express session. From here, you can add other pages, hide or display information based on attributes of the user, and more.

    If, on the other hand, you log in with an account that exists in FusionAuth but is not registered for the application, you’ll end up at an error page.

    Login Without Registration

    This error message and overall page look and feel can be modified via a custom FusionAuth theme.

    8. Logout

    Of course, for every login, there should be a corresponding logout. Log out by clicking on the "Logout" link. This will log you out of both FusionAuth and the application.

    Here’s the pug code which builds a link to log the user out.

    The Logout Link
    
    //...
        a(href=fusionAuthURL+'/oauth2/logout/?client_id='+clientId) Logout
    //...

    When you visit this link, you’re sent to FusionAuth, where the FusionAuth session is destroyed, and then to the application’s logout URL. This URL was configured when you set up the Application in FusionAuth, and has the value of http://localhost:3000/logout.

    That route destroys the local session, logging you out from the Node.js application, and then sending you back to the home page.

    Destroying the Local Session
    
    //...
    /* logout page. */
    router.get('/logout', function (req, res, next) {
      req.session.destroy();
      res.redirect(302, '/');
    });
    //...

    Now you are logged out.

    9. Summing Up

    You’ve now taken an application and layered on authentication with FusionAuth. A user who is registered for the application can log in, view private data, and log out.

    Congrats!

    Here are typical next steps.

    • setting up self-service registration so you don’t need to add every user via the admin UI

    • configuring the theme to make the FusionAuth pages look like your application

    • looking at tutorials in other programming languages

    • read about FusionAuth core concepts like Tenants and Roles

    • researching what kind of login workflow fits your needs

    Of course, there are plenty of other docs, covering a variety of topics. Here are some popular ones.

    • Customizing JWTs

    • Sending and customizing emails

    • Logging in with OIDC, SAML and social login providers like Google

    • Setting Up MFA/Two-Factor

    • Supported OAuth grants

    • Single sign-on aka SSO

    • Managing user data with the User API

    • Premium features
