In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to install Authelia on OpenSUSE, which is a popular open-source authentication and authorization server that provides SSO (Single Sign-On) and 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication).
We assume that you already have a working knowledge of Linux and some familiarity with the command line. So let's get started.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
A user account with sudo privileges.
An updated system.
Docker and Docker Compose installed.
To download the Authelia code, we'll clone it from the official repository.
To do that, open up the terminal and run the command:
git clone --branch v4.31.0 https://github.com/authelia/authelia.git
This command will pull the Authelia source code from the Git repository.
Now we will update the Authelia configuration.
To do so, change your directory to the Authelia installation directory.
cd authelia
Once you are inside the Authelia directory, create a copy of the default configuration file.
cp example-config.yml config.yml
Next, we will edit the configuration file using the text editor of your choice.
nano config.yml
In this file, you’ll find many different configuration options, such as the authentication backend, provider, and web server settings. You can customize these settings based on your needs.
Once you’ve made your desired changes, save the configuration file and exit the editor.
In this step, we will configure the Docker Compose file for Authelia.
Create the docker-compose.yml file.
nano docker-compose.yml
In this file, we’ll specify the services, environment variables, and volumes required to run Authelia.
version: "3.8"
services:
authelia:
container_name: authelia
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
image: authelia/authelia:latest
restart: always
ports:
- "8080:8080"
- "443:443"
depends_on:
- redis
volumes:
- ./config.yml:/config.yml:ro
redis:
container_name: redis
image: redis:alpine
command: redis-server --appendonly yes
restart: always
volumes:
- ./data:/data
In this configuration, we have two services: Authelia and Redis.
Authelia: This is the main service for Authelia. We specify the image, container name, ports, volumes, and environment variables required to run Authelia.
Redis: Redis is a dependency required by Authelia. We specify the image, container name, volumes, and command required to run Redis.
Once you’ve made the changes, save the file and exit the editor.
Finally, we will start Authelia using the Docker Compose command.
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will start the Authelia and Redis containers in the background.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Authelia on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now visit the Authelia web interface by navigating to https://your-server-ip:8080 in your web browser.
Please note that this is a basic installation of Authelia. You can further customize the installation based on your requirements. For more information, consult the official Authelia documentation.
