It functions as a Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) portal, ensuring that only authorized users can access your services. Authelia is OpenID Certified™, demonstrating its adherence to modern authentication standards. It works in conjunction with reverse proxies, allowing you to define granular access policies and protect your applications effectively. ## Installation Getting started with Authelia is flexible, offering multiple deployment options to suit various environments. You can install it as a standalone service or leverage containerization for scalability and ease of management. Key installation methods include: * **Package Managers:** Available via AUR, APT, and FreeBSD Ports. * **Static Binaries:** Direct downloads for various platforms. * **Containerization:** Easily deployable on [Docker](https://docker.com/ "Docker" target="_blank") and [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/ "Kubernetes" target="_blank") environments. * **Helm Charts:** Beta support for Kubernetes deployments using official Helm charts. For detailed instructions, refer to the official [Get Started Guide](https://www.authelia.com/integration/prologue/get-started/ "Authelia Get Started Guide" target="_blank") and the [Deployment documentation](https://www.authelia.com/integration/deployment/introduction/ "Authelia Deployment Documentation" target="_blank"). ## Examples Authelia provides convenient `docker compose` bundles to help you quickly set up and test its features. These bundles serve as excellent starting points for understanding its configuration and integration. * **Local Bundle:** Ideal for testing Authelia without complex configurations, typically used in scenarios where the server is not exposed to the internet. It uses local hosts file domains and self-signed certificates. * **Lite Bundle:** Designed for internet-exposed servers, requiring proper domain and DNS setup, with certificates generated via Let's Encrypt. This configuration uses file-based user storage and SQLite for minimal external dependencies. Explore these examples and more comprehensive guides in the official [Docker Deployment documentation](https://www.authelia.com/integration/deployment/docker/ "Authelia Docker Deployment" target="_blank"). ## Why Use Authelia? Authelia offers compelling reasons to integrate it into your infrastructure: * **Enhanced Security:** Implement robust 2FA methods, including Security Keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn with YubiKey support), Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP), and Mobile Push Notifications (Duo). It also supports passwordless authentication via Passkeys. * **Flexible Access Control:** Define fine-grained access rules based on criteria like subdomain, user, group membership, request URI, method, and network, with options for one-factor or two-factor policies per rule. * **Broad Compatibility:** Works seamlessly with popular reverse proxies such as [Nginx](https://www.authelia.com/integration/proxies/nginx/ "Nginx Integration" target="_blank"), [Traefik](https://www.authelia.com/integration/proxies/traefik/ "Traefik Integration" target="_blank"), [Caddy](https://www.authelia.com/integration/proxies/caddy/ "Caddy Integration" target="_blank"), [Envoy](https://www.authelia.com/integration/proxies/envoy/ "Envoy Integration" target="_blank"), and [HAProxy](https://www.authelia.com/integration/proxies/haproxy/ "HAProxy Integration" target="_blank"). * **Open Source and Auditable:** As an open-source project, Authelia's codebase is transparent and auditable, fostering trust and allowing community contributions to enhance its security and features. * **OpenID Certified™:** Adheres to the OpenID Connect 1.0 protocol, ensuring interoperability and compliance with industry standards. ## Links * **GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/authelia/authelia](https://github.com/authelia/authelia "Authelia GitHub Repository" target="_blank") * **Official Documentation:** [https://www.authelia.com/](https://www.authelia.com/ "Authelia Official Documentation" target="_blank") * **Docker Hub:** [https://hub.docker.com/r/authelia/authelia/tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/authelia/authelia/tags "Authelia Docker Hub" target="_blank") * **OpenID Certification:** [https://openid.net/certification/](https://openid.net/certification/ "OpenID Certification" target="_blank")
