Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server that provides multifactor authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO), and access control. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Authelia on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before installing Authelia, you need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command to install them:
sudo pacman -S git go npm
Once the dependencies are installed, you need to clone the Authelia repository from Github. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/authelia/authelia.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the authelia folder, and run the following commands to build Authelia:
cd authelia
go generate ./cmd/authelia
go build -ldflags "-X main.Version=$(git describe --tags)"
To install Authelia, you need to copy the binary file to a folder in your PATH. In this case, we will use the /usr/local/bin folder. To do that, run the following command:
sudo cp ./authelia /usr/local/bin
After installing Authelia, you need to configure it to fit your needs. Authelia uses a YAML file for configuration. You can find an example file in the Authelia repository under authelia/config/configuration.yml.sample. Copy that file to the /etc/authelia directory using the following command:
sudo cp ./config/configuration.yml.sample /etc/authelia/configuration.yml
Then, edit the /etc/authelia/configuration.yml file and customize it to suit your needs.
To run Authelia, execute the following command:
authelia start
It will start the Authelia server, and you can access the web interface from a web browser by typing http://localhost:9091.
Authelia is now installed and running on your EndeavourOS Latest system. You can now use it to provide multifactor authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO), and access control to your web applications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
