Get Started
Overview
Orientation for the Get Started section
This section gets Olympus running for the first time. Pick your path:
- Quickstart with octl, fastest. One command. For trying Olympus on your laptop.
- Quickstart with podman compose, manual. For understanding what
octl deployactually does. - Quickstart with Daedalus, if you already want to deploy to a real VPS, skip the local stack and use the wizard.
Then:
- Access URLs and credentials, log into Athena, the admin dashboard.
- CIAM vs IAM, the most important concept in Olympus.
- Identity vs OAuth2, why we run both Kratos and Hydra.
- Your first login, exercise the login flow end-to-end.
- Your first OAuth2 client, register a client in Hydra and complete an authorization-code flow.
- Next steps, where to go from here.
Estimated time end-to-end: 15 minutes.
