authelia VS traefik-forward-auth

It's me and two others though I'm definitely the most active. We put a lot of effort into security best practices and one of my co-developers is currently reviewing the 4.38.0 release. It's a fairly major release with a lot of important code paths that have been improved for the future.

Our official docs can be found at https://www.authelia.com and you can find docs for a particular PR in the relevant PR. We've also linked the pre-release docs in the pre-release discussions which can be found here: https://github.com/authelia/authelia/discussions/categories/...

I use NGINX proxy with Authelia in between. Authelia blocks and blacklists faulty logins.

If you are using HAProxy on PfSense/OPNSense, see my issue https://github.com/authelia/authelia/issues/2696

https://github.com/lldap/lldap is a very simple and lightweight LDAP solution. Works flawless with https://www.authelia.com/

Ah yeah, so I guess it's been a while since I tried and I forgot where I got stuck last time. Authelia's config.yml is absolutely massive and I'm not sure which section of their guide I should be following. In The Docker Compose section, there's "Unbundled", "Lite", and "Local". I think I want to be running the "lite" bundle, but their example compose file has a ton of Traefik stuff in it. I know I wouldn't keep the Traefik services, but do I need either secure or public?

Authelia supports SSO. If you are behind a reverse proxy it’s quite straightforward to integrate.

This should probably also be mentioned in the documentation so maybe consider mentioning this on their discussion page.

BTW also keycloak and other similar products offer the oauth-proxy capability, I even used the original oauth2-proxy https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy for a while, but it was getting too difficult to maintain for me. I used for a while https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth that was a smart hack configuring a single upstream provider, but it look abandoned. So I was considering authentik but apparently it's just oauth2-proxy embedded in it, at that point why not use oauth2-proxy directly.

It seems there are some more recently updated forks.

Traefik Forward Auth

One way I got this to work (for another app that doesn’t go through cloudflare) was to use Traefik with forward-auth and this: https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth

In front of all of my private dashboards, I use Traefik Forward Auth to limit who can access them.

Hm, interesting. I have worked with traefik-forward-auth before, but I didn't know there is a fork. Are you using the fork? Would you happen to know if this issue from the original project still exists or if it's fixed in the fork?

Traefik ingress + forward auth middleware + traefik-forward-auth does the trick.

Hey have u setup a forward auth? https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth
