## Why Casdoor



Casdoor is a **UI-first** identity provider and access management platform: one place to manage users, organizations, applications, and providers, with a modern web console. Authorization policies can be expressed with **[Casbin](https://casbin.org/)** (ACL, RBAC, ABAC, and more). Unlike reverse-proxy-centric auth companions, Casdoor is a dedicated auth server with broad protocol support, designed to be straightforward to self-host and integrate—see **[casdoor.ai](https://casdoor.ai)** for documentation.

## 🌐 Live demos



| Environment | URL | Description |

|-------------|-----|-------------|

| **Read-only** | [door.casdoor.com](https://door.casdoor.com) | Global demo; **any modification or write operation will fail** (read-only). |

| **Writable** | [demo.casdoor.com](https://demo.casdoor.com) | Full access for testing; **data is reset about every 5 minutes**. |



Default demo admin login (where applicable): `admin` / `123` — use only for demos; change credentials on your own deployment.

## 🚀 Quick start



Pick one deployment method below. To keep behavior consistent with upstream, the steps are aligned with official docs.



### 🛠️ Source code (default)



1. Install dependencies: **Go 1.25** (follow `go.mod`), **Node.js LTS (20)**, **Yarn 1.x**, and a supported database.

2. Clone the repository:



```bash

git clone https://github.com/casdoor/casdoor.git

cd casdoor

```



3. Configure database in `conf/app.conf` (at minimum set `driverName`, `dataSourceName`, and `dbName`; for MySQL create database `casdoor` first).

4. Build frontend and start backend:



```bash

cd web

yarn install

yarn build

cd ..

go run main.go

```



5. Open [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) and sign in with `built-in/admin` / `123` on a fresh install (change password immediately in production).



Official guide: [Server installation](https://casdoor.ai/docs/basic/server-installation)



### 🐳 Docker



Use one of the official Docker paths:



- **All-in-one (SQLite quick trial)**:



```bash

docker run -p 8000:8000 casbin/casdoor-all-in-one

```



- **Docker Compose** (with your `conf/app.conf` next to `docker-compose.yml`):



```bash

docker compose up

```



Then open [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) and sign in with `built-in/admin` / `123` on a fresh install.



Official guide: [Try with Docker](https://casdoor.ai/docs/basic/try-with-docker)



### ☸️ Kubernetes Helm



With Helm v3 and a running Kubernetes cluster:



```bash

helm install casdoor oci://registry-1.docker.io/casbin/casdoor-helm-charts

```



After installation, access Casdoor through your cluster service/ingress. The official guide covers chart versions (including optional `--version`) and cluster-specific settings.
