Step‑by‑step guide to enable Ory Kratos self‑service registration with email verification, including config snippets, verification checks, and recovery actions.
Database Schema Transition Ory Kratos manages identity data using a SQL database, where schema updates are applied via the ory migrate sql command during version transitions. While the identity attributes are stored in a flexible JSONB format in PostgreSQL, the underlying table structures are subject to version-specific migrations. Migration Constraints Curr
Goal Ensure that a single‑page application hosted on a subdomain can maintain an authenticated session after upgrading Ory Kratos from v0.10.5 to v0.11+, while the service runs on PostgreSQL 12+. Constraints and uncertainty Kratos v0.11+ sets the session cookie with SameSite=None and a new name ending in an underscore (ory_kratos_session_). Browsers only hon
The ORY Kratos self‑service registration endpoint works correctly when backed by a local SQLite database, but returns a 500 Internal Server Error in a production PostgreSQL deployment. In the SQLite environment the ORM automatically creates the required verification_token column, masking the missing migration step, whereas the PostgreSQL schema lacks this co
The goal is to create a repeatable, container‑based development environment for Ory Kratos that starts quickly while still giving confidence that database migrations and schema will behave identically in production. Using the SQLite backend eliminates the need for a separate database service, giving near‑instant container start and allowing the database file
