Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server designed to authenticate users and applications in 2-factor authentication and Single-Sign-On scenarios.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Authelia on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing Authelia, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Here are the steps to install Authelia on Kali Linux:
To start the process, we need to install some dependencies first.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl wget gettext build-essential
Authelia is packaged as Docker images, so we need to get it installed on our system.
sudo curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
Docker Compose is a tool that allows us to run multi-container Docker applications. We will use it to start our Authelia containers.
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Run the following command to create a new directory for Authelia:
sudo mkdir /opt/authelia
sudo chown -R $USER /opt/authelia
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/authelia/authelia/master/examples/compose/docker-compose.yml -o /opt/authelia/docker-compose.yml
We need to configure Authelia using a configuration file. We can use the default configuration file as a starting point by making a copy of it.
cp /opt/authelia/example-config.yml /opt/authelia/config.yml
Next, open the configuration file with your preferred text editor:
nano /opt/authelia/config.yml
Change the configuration variables as per your requirements.
Run the following command to start the Authelia containers using Docker Compose.
cd /opt/authelia
docker-compose up -d
You can check if everything is configured correctly by opening the Authelia web portal in your web browser.
https://<your-server-ip>:9091
You will need to replace
When prompted, enter the credentials you configured in the Authelia configuration file.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Authelia on Kali Linux Latest. With the right configurations and settings, you can now use Authelia to authenticate users and applications in your environment.
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!
