3 versions, 1 with breaking changes, 1 required stop

Required stops

2023.4.3
Latest 2023.4.x release.
Upgrade sequence: Upgrades must follow the sequence of major releases; do not skip directly from an older major version to the most recent version.

Always upgrade to the latest minor version (.x) within each major.minor version before upgrading to the next major version. For example, if you're currently running 2025.2.1, upgrade in the following order:
1. Upgrade to the latest 2025.2.x.
2. Then to the latest 2025.4.x.
3. Finally to the latest 2025.6.x.
Outposts: The version of the authentik server and all authentik outposts must match. Ensure that all outposts are upgraded at the same time as the core authentik instance.

Breaking

Deprecation of PostgreSQL 11 support

The next release of authentik will only support PostgreSQL 12 and newer. Upgrading can be done with https://github.com/tianon/docker-postgres-upgrade or by exporting the database and re-importing the database into a new PostgreSQL instance.

Removal of deprecated LDAP fields

This version removes the deprecated LDAP fields goauthentik.io/ldap/active and goauthentik.io/ldap/superuser.

Additionally, any custom fields based on user attributes will only be represented with their sanitized key, removing any slashes with dashes, and removing periods.

Renamed docker-compose environment variables

To better distinguish settings that configure authentik itself and settings that configure docker-compose, the environment variables AUTHENTIK_PORT_HTTP and AUTHENTIK_PORT_HTTPS have been renamed to COMPOSE_PORT_HTTP and COMPOSE_PORT_HTTPS respectively.
