Authelia Docker-Compose Example

Authelia is an authentication server that supports 2FA and an LDAP backend to protect your applications.

The documentation for using Authelia with Traefik is fairly minimal and scattered throughout quite a few places. This is a minimal example for how to integrate the two.

Setup

/etc/hosts -- local testing only

Modify your /etc/hosts to contain:

127.0.0.1 auth.example.org
127.0.0.1 web.example.org

docker

Start the containers.

docker-compose up -d

openldap

We are going to create a user named mike with a password insecure.

./add_user.sh

Test it out

Go to https://web.example.org . This should redirect you to https://auth.example.org. Enter mike and insecure into the login form and submit it. You should now see a JSON object that contains information about your request.

Troubleshooting

TLS Certificate Errors

Traefik is using a self-signed certificate that is generated on each startup. You should configure this differently for production.
