# Next-Ory Get started with ORY authentication quickly and easily. > [!Warning] > This project is work in progress. There is no guarantee that everything will work as it should and breaking changes in > the future are possible. The goal of this project is to create an easy-to-use setup to self-host [Ory Kratos](https://www.ory.sh/kratos) and [Ory Hydra](https://www.ory.sh/hydra). It will contain an authentication UI, implementing all self-service flows for Ory Kratos and Ory Hydra, as well as an admin UI. All UI components are written in NextJS and Typescript, and styled using shadcn/ui and TailwindCSS. ## Getting started Start the backend services using Docker Compose: ```bash cp /docker/ory-dev/.env.example /docker/ory-dev/.env docker compose -f docker/ory-dev/docker-compose.yaml up -d # optional to test consent flow sh docker/ory-dev/hydra-test-consent.sh ``` Then start the authentication UI: ```bash cd authentication cp .env.example .env bun install bun run dev ``` Inside another terminal session we can start the dashboard UI: ```bash cd dashboard cp .env.example .env bun install bun run dev ``` ## Deployment *soon.* ## Authentication UI The authentication UI is already implemented and working. It supports all self-service flows for Ory Kratos and Ory Hydra. It is implemented in a way, that customizing style and page layout is very easy. ![A browser window showing the login page of the authentication UI in dark mode](./documentation/.img/a-login-dark.png) ![A browser window showing the registration page of the authentication UI in light mode](./documentation/.img/a-registration-light.png) ![A browser window showing the profile settings page of the authentication UI in dark mode](./documentation/.img/a-settings-dark.png) ## Admin Dashboard Right now I am working on the admin dashboard for Ory Kratos. It will provide you with an overview of your instance and let you manage users, OAuth2 applications and more. It is ***work in progress*** and should not be used in anything important as it is not yet protected by Keto permissions but only by a valid Kratos session! ![A browser window showing the home page of the dashboard UI in dark mode](./documentation/.img/d-dashboard-dark.png) ![A browser window showing the users page of the dashboard UI in dark mode](./documentation/.img/d-users-dark.png)
