Mastering Authelia Installation ft. NGINX Proxy Manager

Hey, as of March 2023 can't seem to get past the Redis install on 6.11.x. Getting permission denied in the logs for the Redis docker. Tried following a forum post about using install command for folder prior to install but still not working. In fact, seems to have created a redis folder somewhere else on the server I can't find. Can you provide updated instructions with the change in non-root dockers?

having a lot of problems when starting mine:
getting follow errors:
- authentication_backend: you must ensure either the 'file' or 'ldap' authentication backend is configured"

"Configuration: access control: 'default_policy' option 'deny' is invalid: when no rules are specified it must be 'two_factor' or 'one_factor'"
Configuration: storage: configuration for a 'local', 'mysql' or 'postgres' database must be provided"
"Configuration: storage: option 'encryption_key' is required"
notifier: you must ensure either the 'smtp' or 'filesystem' notifier is configured"

Nice job. But.. when reaching overseer, you will still need to log in there as well? No single sign-on?

my config file is asking for a storage encryption_key but I can't see it being mentioned here? The template from the website looks a good bit different to the one you use.

Awesome and unique content..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for all your content, big thank to all the team

no dice. i commented out the ldap but still getting fatal ldap error 200.

Where is the link to the current config files?

Do you plan to make a video about setting up LDAP for Authelia and Windows auth? Thats a project i want to implement since ages ago, but i never found a combination of tutorials and (free, selfhosted) software for that.

First let me say i love your channel! Second, I have tried this guide 3 times now from scratch and i can't get it to start up. It keeps saying Provide JWT secret. I have gone though the video countless times and still get the same result. I know it will end up being a user error since i am new to docker and unraid, it's just frustrating. One sugestion for future videos if i may, use the same configuration file that you provide (not truncated). It makes it confusing when half the config options are not shown on your screen. (for a Noob at least) Thanks for the great content and i will keep plugging along until i figure it out.

This whole channel is a wealth of excellent, clear cut, thought out, well presented information. Keep up the good work mate!

you are amazing

Thanks for cool video ,but i dont have any config file after created docker ?!?

How would I put a virtual machine or another machine behind NGINX/authelia?
I have HASSIO installed as a virtual machine on unraid. I want to expose it behind authelia. I plan to move it to a proxmox installation eventually although it will keep the same IP. Is this possible?

Thank you for the awesome video and docker template!

I just want to add on in case there may be others like me who are using the linuxserver/swag docker to handle the reverse proxying instead of Nginx Proxy Manager. Besides uncommenting the "include /config/nginx/authelia-server.conf;" and "include /config/nginx/authelia-location.conf;" lines in each of the .conf files you wish to protect using Authelia, you also need to ensure 2 more things:
1. In your authelia's configuration.yml file, the value for "server.path" should not be left blank, rather it should be "authelia".
2. Ensure that the container name for your Authelia instance is "authelia" instead of "Authelia" if you're using this wonderful docker template from Ibracorp; or in the appdata directory for SWAG, edit "/config/nginx/authelia-server.conf" so that all instances of "set $upstream_authelia authelia;" says "set $upstream_authelia Authelia;" instead.

The config you are editing in the video is different to the config.template on the github. Are you using the default config or the one from github?

This was Awesome I got this working like a charm, I love the pace you use and how you explain things.

hey ibracorp when i try to start authelia i get a "Error malformed yaml: line 228: did not find expected key" thats the "file" part of the config.yml i have tried different passwords and hash's i have put the plain text password in the password field and left it blank like in your video but nothing seems to work. any ideas?

Finally got it working, the one thing that messed me up was the yml code. In other yml/yaml coding I have done if anything that you use contains a non alpha character you need to use (") quotes. Almost all my passwords do and that took me hours to figure out. Something about forest and trees. LOL

hey, thanks for the video. ive tried to implement this in my server, but when i try to access radarr it asks me to connect and after i put in the username+password is just says "Authenticated" and doesnt move on to radarr. i tried to re-install, re-configure all configs that you added to the guide and nothing.. can anyone help me fix thix? :(

how were you able to just open the config in windows. always tells me i need permission

question for you, what do I need to change in the Protected Endpoint.conf to point to a non-container item.. say another address on my local network? What do I replace CONTAINERNAME with?

Using this video and your other freeIPA one, I banged my head against a wall attempting to authenticate this from my AD domain for a couple days. I couldnt figure out why it wouldnt work. Finally I commented out the additional_users and additional_groups entries and BAM! What I discovered is if all your users and groups are in the OU=Users and OU=Groups OUs respectively (As I suspect many home labs are) it will just silently fail if you point the "additional" entries to those same OUs. Gotta just comment it out. Thought I would share and save someone else heart ache

Thank you, but how can I use authelia with nextcloud, hassio, bitwarden android apps?

Hi Thx a lot for the overview for Authelia. I just have one issue will this install. The argon2id part does not work. I did change the name and did all the things u said we needed to change but it will not start Authelia. Any idea´s??

Thanks for the guide btw! Very useful! 🙂

Anyone else having an issue with radarr and sonarr not sending data back to the host once connected? I.e. saving settings or trying to download new media on the domain does nothing on the host side?

I have other dockers that run with no problems (overseerrr, SABnzbd, nextcloud, etc.).

I don't think you could comprehend how helpful this was!

I finally attempted this awesome tutorial. However I must be the only one that failed at it. When I log into Authelia to authenticate Jackett I get a 403 error. Any clues as why this is happening? I did pick a plain text word and used the HASH generator.

I have set up two "proxies" one fore overseer and one for guacamole. I configuration.yml I have only entries for domain and policy:one_factor. If I go to my overseerr domain i get to log in using authelia. But ig I close the overseerr window and try to go to my overseerr domain again I get a authelia message saying that I am already logged in and only gives me the option to logout. If I want to access overseerr again I have to click logout, wait for the login page to show. I then need to close that window and enter my overseerr domain again. Is there something I have missed ?

Bro.... how do you not have more subscribers? These videos are gold! Not only got me set up but now I understand the process along the way! Seriously can't thank you enough

Is it possible that you could help me get two-factor fixed? It states "There was a problem initiating the registration process" whenever I try to use it.

Can't seem to edit the config.yml authelia creates.
Every other container I can edit anything in, including mariadb which was just installed.
Windows saying I don't have read permission, to exclusively that folder.

i have got authelia up and running after your great video. now i have a problem with getting api key from the different services i have to bypass it. lets say sonarr i want a more secure login, but i would want the api key from sonarr to work with other applications. how would i do this? i dont really understand how to set that up.

I have a question about MariaDB, I see Authelia requires a database but so does Nextcloud and Nginx how does that work? Can there be multiple database in the one MariaDB container and these DBs handle difference applications? If so, can you do a video on that if time permits? Great tutorial I trying to follow along and have a similar setup for my HomeLab. Going forward I will ask question at your email addy above. Again thank you for all your hard work on the videos. They are truly helpful!

Nice. In the first 10 minutes I was like "nah, don't need this.."
Later on I was like "hmm.. Interesting 🤔"
Now I'm like "f*c|< yeah. Want this"

Thanks for the video 😘

Finally i can now have 2FA 😋

great video, I didn't manage to make it work with only your github and now i'm stuck with mariadb, I put password in it but adminer can't connect to it and when I connect to mariadb container, and try mysql or mysql -u root -p mypassword, it just says access denied using password YES.
Version of MariaDB mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.4.18-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2. It's not the first time it does this to me with mysql

When you setup adminer, shouldn't it be better to just give the docker net ip:port instead your LAN port?

Greetings from Australia! Followed this as close as possible but can't get Authelia to start. Logs give "Unable to initialize SQL database: Error 1045: Access denied for user 'authelia'@'172.18.0.1' (using password: YES)". Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hello All Great guide. I do have an issue where its not redirecting to Overserr. I follow d the guide to the letter, When I log in it does show the Hi Marvin! Authenticated but it does not redirect

Thanks for the awesome video.
I would be interested in how you setup FreeIPA
