@chilly-king-10285 How to set the authenticated session lifespan in kratos.
c
A message from kapa.ai
To set the authenticated session lifespan in Kratos, you need to modify the session lifespan configuration. This can be done either through the Ory Console or the Ory CLI. Here are the steps to do it: 1. Go to the [Ory Console](https://console.ory.sh/) → Session Settings, enter the desired lifespan and click the Save button. For example, to set the session lifespan to 30 days, enter
720h
. If you prefer to use the Ory CLI, follow these steps: 1. Download the Ory Identities config from your project and save it to a file:
Copy code
bash ## List all available projects   ory list projects      ## Get config   ory get identity-config {project-id} --format yaml > identity-config.yaml
2. Update the configuration value for session lifespan property to the desired value:
Copy code
yaml session:   cookie:    domain: {project.slug}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>    name: ory_session_{name}    path: /    persistent: false    same_site: Lax   lifespan: 720h
3. Update the Ory Identities configuration using the file you worked with:
Copy code
bash ory update identity-config {project-id} --file identity-config.yaml
The session lifespan is expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds. Use a combination of these units to define the desired lifespan. For example:
72h
,
10m
,
12s
,
1h13m3s
. For more details, refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/session-lifespan).

@chilly-king-10285 there is no identity-config.yml file
c
A message from kapa.ai
If you don't have an
identity-config.yaml
file, you can create one based on the current configuration of your Ory project. Here's how you can do it: 1. Use the Ory CLI to get the current Ory Identities configuration for your project:
Copy code
bash ory get identity-config [project-id] --format yaml > identity-config.yaml
Replace
[project-id]
with the ID of your Ory project. This command will save the current configuration to a new file named
identity-config.yaml
. If you don't know your project ID, you can list all your projects with the following command:
Copy code
bash ory list projects
Once you have the
identity-config.yaml
file, you can modify it as needed and then update your project's configuration with the
ory update identity-config
command. For more details, refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/cli/ory-get-identity-config#ory-get-identity-config).

@chilly-king-10285 I have installed the identity-config.yml file from my ory project and now I want to apply it to my local kratos
c
A message from kapa.ai
To apply the
identity-config.yaml
file from your Ory project to your local Kratos setup, you need to follow these steps: 1. First, ensure that you have the
identity-config.yaml
file that you downloaded from your Ory project. 2. Then, you need to set the path to this configuration file in the environment variable for your local Kratos setup. This can be done by setting the
SELFSERVICE_METHODS_OIDC_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable to the path of your
identity-config.yaml
file. Here's an example of how you can do this in a bash shell:
Copy code
bash export SELFSERVICE_METHODS_OIDC_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/your/identity-config.yaml
Replace
/path/to/your/identity-config.yaml
with the actual path to your
identity-config.yaml
file. 3. Finally, restart your local Kratos instance for the changes to take effect. Please note that the exact steps might vary depending on your specific setup and environment. For more details, refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/cli/identity-cli).

@chilly-king-10285 SELFSERVICE_METHODS_OIDC_CONFIG_PATH what is this?
c
A message from kapa.ai
I apologize for the confusion, but there seems to be a misunderstanding. The
SELFSERVICE_METHODS_OIDC_CONFIG_PATH
is not a recognized environment variable in the Ory Kratos configuration. To apply the
identity-config.yaml
file to your local Kratos setup, you should specify the path to the configuration file when starting Kratos using the
--config
flag. Here's an example:
Copy code
bash kratos serve --config=path/to/your/identity-config.yaml
Replace
path/to/your/identity-config.yaml
with the actual path to your
identity-config.yaml
file. For more details, refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/configuring).

@chilly-king-10285 I am setting up the kratos in the docker container and I use the docker compose command to create the kratos server.
c
A message from kapa.ai
To set up Kratos in a Docker container using Docker Compose, you can follow these steps: 1. Ensure you have Git, Docker, and Docker Compose installed on your system. 2. Clone the Ory Kratos repository and navigate into it:
Copy code
bash git clone <https://github.com/ory/kratos.git>   cd kratos
3. Check out the version of Kratos you want to use:
Copy code
bash git checkout <version-you-want>
4. Run Docker Compose:
Copy code
bash docker-compose -f quickstart.yml -f quickstart-standalone.yml up --build --force-recreate
If you have SELinux, run:
Copy code
bash docker-compose -f quickstart.yml -f quickstart-selinux.yml -f quickstart-standalone.yml up --build --force-recreate
This process might take a minute or two. Once the output slows down and logs indicate a healthy system, you're ready to go! A healthy system will show something along the lines of:
Copy code
bash kratos_1 | time="2020-01-20T14:52:13Z" level=info msg="Starting the admin httpd on: 0.0.0.0:4434"   kratos_1 | time="2020-01-20T14:52:13Z" level=info msg="Starting the public httpd on: 0.0.0.0:4433"
For more details, refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/quickstart#clone-ory-kratos-and-run-it-in-docker-part-1).

@chilly-king-10285 Then how to apply the identity-config.yml file
c
A message from kapa.ai
To apply the
identity-config.yaml
file to your local Kratos setup running in a Docker container, you need to mount the configuration file into the Docker container. This can be done by modifying the
volumes
section of the Kratos service in your Docker Compose file. Here's an example of how you can do this:
Copy code
yaml services:   kratos:     image: oryd/kratos:v0.7.6-alpha.1     ports:       - "4433:4433" # public       - "4434:4434" # admin     volumes:       - type: bind         source: ./path/to/your/identity-config.yaml         target: /home/ory/identity-config.yaml     command:       serve -c /home/ory/identity-config.yaml
Replace
./path/to/your/identity-config.yaml
with the actual path to your
identity-config.yaml
file on your host machine. This configuration will mount your
identity-config.yaml
file into the
/home/ory/identity-config.yaml
path inside the Docker container. The
command
option is then used to tell Kratos to use this configuration file. After updating your Docker Compose file, you can apply the changes by running
docker-compose up
. Please note that the exact steps might vary depending on your specific setup and environment. For more details, refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/configuring).

@chilly-king-10285 kratos-1 | open /home/ory/identity-config.yaml: operation not permitted
c
A message from kapa.ai
The error message "open /home/ory/identity-config.yaml: operation not permitted" suggests that the Docker container does not have the necessary permissions to access the
identity-config.yaml
file. Here are a few things you can try to resolve this issue: 1. Check the file permissions: Ensure that the
identity-config.yaml
file has the correct permissions. You can change the permissions of the file using the
chmod
command. For example, to give read and write permissions to all users, you can run
chmod 666 /path/to/your/identity-config.yaml
. 2. Check the file ownership: If you're running Docker as a non-root user, you might need to change the ownership of the
identity-config.yaml
file to the user running Docker. You can do this with the
chown
command. For example, if your Docker user is
dockeruser
, you can run
chown dockeruser:dockeruser /path/to/your/identity-config.yaml
. 3. Check the Docker user: If you're running Docker as a root user, try running it as a non-root user. This can often resolve permission issues. 4. Check the Docker Compose configuration: Ensure that the
volumes
configuration in your Docker Compose file is correct. The
source
should be the path to the
identity-config.yaml
file on your host machine, and the
target
should be
/home/ory/identity-config.yaml
. If none of these suggestions resolve the issue, please provide more details about your setup, including the operating system you're using, the version of Docker and Docker Compose, and the exact commands you're running.

A message from kapa.ai
The error message you're seeing typically means that the system can't find the
kratos
command because it's not installed or not in the system's PATH. Here are a few things you can do to resolve this: 1. Check if Kratos is installed: You can do this by running the command
kratos version
. If Kratos is installed, this command should return the version of Kratos that's currently installed. 2. Install Kratos: If Kratos is not installed, you can install it by following the instructions in the [Ory Kratos documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/install). 3. Check the system's PATH: If Kratos is installed but the system can't find it, it might be because the directory where Kratos is installed is not in the system's PATH. You can check the system's PATH by running the command
echo $PATH
(on Unix-based systems) or
echo %PATH%
(on Windows). If the directory where Kratos is installed is not in the PATH, you can add it by following the instructions for your specific operating system. 4. Use the full path to the Kratos command: If all else fails, you can try running the Kratos command using its full path. For example, if Kratos is installed in
/usr/local/bin
, you can run the command
/usr/local/bin/kratos
. If none of these suggestions resolve the issue, please provide more details about your setup, including the operating system you're using and the exact commands you're running.
