To test Ory Kratos and Ory Hydra locally, you can follow these steps: 1. For Ory Kratos: You can use Cypress for end-to-end and integration tests. Here's how to set it up: 1. Start Ory Kratos with an in-memory database:

DSN=memory hydra serve -c ./path/to/config/kratos.yml --dev > "kratos.e2e.log" 2>&1 &

2. Start your application in the background. 3. Run Cypress tests. If you're testing React Native on web with Cypress, you need to disable some security features:

DSN=memory \     DEV_DISABLE_API_FLOW_ENFORCEMENT=true     hydra serve -c ./path/to/config/kratos.yml --dev  > "kratos.e2e.log" 2>&1 &)

[Learn more about Kratos E2E testing](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/guides/e2e-integration-tests) 2. For Ory Hydra: You can use the Ory CLI to run Ory Hydra locally: 1. Install the Ory CLI (instructions vary by operating system). 2. Create a new Ory Network project:

ory create project \   --name "Ory Hydra 2.0 Example"

3. Set the project ID as an environment variable:

project_id="<your-project-id>"

Your OAuth2 and OpenID Connect server will be available at:

https://<slug>.<http://projects.oryapis.com/.well-known/openid-configuration|projects.oryapis.com/.well-known/openid-configuration>

[Learn more about running Ory Hydra locally](https://www.ory.sh/run-oauth2-server-open-source-api-security/#perform-oauth2--openid-connect-flows) For both Kratos and Hydra, you can use the Ory Tunnel to connect your local application to Ory Network for testing:

ory tunnel <http://localhost:3000> --project {project-slug} --dev

This allows you to test features like CORS and cookie support by running Ory APIs on the same domain as your local application. [Learn more about Ory Tunnel](https://www.ory.sh/docs/cli/ory-tunnel) Remember to always use these setups for development and testing purposes only, not for production environments.

Yes, it's absolutely possible to self-host Ory Kratos and Ory Hydra on your local machine. This approach is great for development, testing, and learning about the Ory ecosystem. Here's how you can do it: 1. For Ory Kratos: You can clone and run Ory Kratos locally using Docker. Here are the steps:

git clone --depth 1 --branch master <https://github.com/ory/kratos.git> cd kratos git checkout master git pull -ff docker-compose -f quickstart.yml -f contrib/quickstart/kratos/cloud/quickstart.yml up --build --force-recreate -d

After running these commands, Ory Kratos will be available at

<http://localhost:4433>

useradd -s /bin/false -m -d /opt/hydra hydra

2. Create folders for installation data and configuration:

mkdir /opt/hydra/{bin,config}

3. Install Ory Hydra:

cd /opt/hydra/bin wget <https://github.com/ory/hydra/releases/download/<version-you-want>/hydra_<version-you-want>-linux_64bit.tar.gz> tar xfvz hydra_<version-you-want>-linux_64bit.tar.gz rm *md rm LICENSE

4. Download the configuration files:

cd ../config wget <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/hydra/<version-you-want>/contrib/quickstart/5-min/hydra.yml>

5. Configure Ory Hydra to use a database (e.g., PostgreSQL) by editing the

hydra.yml

file. 6. Apply migrations:

/opt/hydra/bin/hydra -c /opt/hydra/config/hydra.yml migrate sql -y <postgres://hydra:secret@localhost:5432/hydra?sslmode=disable>

7. Test your setup:

/opt/hydra/bin/hydra -c /opt/hydra/config/hydra.yml serve all

It's great for experimenting, developing, and contributing to open source, but make sure to follow best practices for security and deployment.

Yes, there are quickstart guides available for deploying both Ory Kratos and Ory Hydra. Let me provide you with the information for each: For Ory Kratos: There's a quickstart guide that allows you to quickly set up Ory Kratos using Docker. Here are the steps: 1. Clone the Ory Kratos repository:

git clone <https://github.com/ory/kratos.git> cd kratos git checkout master

2. Run Ory Kratos using Docker Compose:

docker-compose -f quickstart.yml -f quickstart-standalone.yml up --build --force-recreate

This will set up Ory Kratos along with a SQLite database for storage. The quickstart also includes MailSlurper, a mock SMTP server for testing email verification. [Source: Ory Kratos Quickstart](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/quickstart#clone-ory-kratos-and-run-it-in-docker) For Ory Hydra: While there isn't a specific quickstart guide mentioned in the provided knowledge sources for Ory Hydra, there is a deployment guide that walks you through the process. Here's a simplified version: 1. Create a new user:

useradd -s /bin/false -m -d /opt/hydra hydra

2. Create necessary directories:

mkdir /opt/hydra/{bin,config}

3. Download and install Ory Hydra:

cd /opt/hydra/bin wget <https://github.com/ory/hydra/releases/download/<version-you-want>/hydra_<version-you-want>-linux_64bit.tar.gz> tar xfvz hydra_<version-you-want>-linux_64bit.tar.gz

4. Download the configuration file:

cd ../config wget <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/hydra/<version-you-want>/contrib/quickstart/5-min/hydra.yml>

5. Configure the database in the

hydra.yml

file. 6. Run database migrations and start the server:

/opt/hydra/bin/hydra -c /opt/hydra/config/hydra.yml migrate sql -y <postgres://hydra:secret@localhost:5432/hydra?sslmode=disable> /opt/hydra/bin/hydra -c /opt/hydra/config/hydra.yml serve all

[Source: Install Ory Hydra](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/deploy-hydra-example#install-ory-hydra) These guides should help you get started with deploying Ory Kratos and Hydra. Remember to adjust the configurations according to your specific needs and environment.
