To configure your self-hosted Hydra and Kratos to work together, you can follow these steps: 1. Prepare for production: Before deploying your Hydra instance, make sure to read the [Prepare for production](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/production) guide. 2. Fork or build a custom UI: You can either fork the [Ory Hydra Node.js UI Reference](https://github.com/ory/hydra-login-consent-node) or [build a custom UI in the language of your choice](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/sdk/overview). 3. Add Identity and Account Management: You can add identity and account management to your Hydra instance by integrating it with Ory Kratos. You can read more about this in the [Ory Kratos Introduction](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/ory-kratos-intro). 4. Configure Kratos: Depending on your needs, you might want to configure Kratos for things like [Certificate-based authentication](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-hosted/mail-courier-selfhosted#certificate-based-authentication), [Time-based one-time passwords (TOTP)](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-hosted/mfa#time-based-one-time-passwords-totp), or [WebAuthn](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-hosted/mfa#webauthn). Please note that the exact steps might vary depending on your specific use case and environment. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to the Ory community or consider one of Ory's [support plans](https://www.ory.sh/support/) for professional assistance.
