# Next-Ory Get started with the Ory stack 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 the [Ory](https://www.ory.sh) stack with all its components. 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 ``` Create an account using the authentication UI on http://localhost:3000. The verification code can be found on the dummy SMTP dashboard on http://localhost:4436. Inside another terminal session we can start the dashboard UI: ```bash cd dashboard cp .env.example .env bun install bun run dev ``` To access the admin dashboard, the `identity` has to be a `member` of the `admin` role. (Relation: roles:admin@< identity_id>#member) <br/> The identity ID is displayed on the screen when accessing the dashboard without sufficient permissions. <br/> Use the identity ID to execute the following script with the identity ID as an argument. ```bash sh docker/ory-dev/keto-make-admin.sh <identity_id> ``` ## 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.    ## Admin Dashboard Right now I am working on the admin dashboard for all Ory applications. It will provide you with an overview of your instances and let you manage users, OAuth2 applications and more. It is ***work in progress*** and should be handled with caution.
