Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization platform that can secure access to any type of application, whether it is a web application or something else. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Authelia on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing Authelia, it's important to update your server's packages to ensure that everything is up-to-date:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Authelia is deployed using Docker containers. Therefore, Docker and Docker Compose need to be installed on your server. Follow the below commands to install both:
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --yes --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo echo \
"deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
To install Authelia on your server, you need to clone the Authelia repository. To do it, run the command below:
git clone https://github.com/authelia/authelia.git
After cloning the Authelia repository into your server, you should navigate to the Authelia directory and edit the configuration file according to your requirements:
cd authelia
cp example.env .env
nano .env
Now, everything is ready. Set up Authelia using the command below:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This will create containers according to the configuration in your .env file.
To verify Authelia is functioning correctly, navigate to https://your-server-ip:9091 from your web browser.
Congrats! You have successfully installed Authelia on your Ubuntu Server Latest. Now, you can use Authelia to secure access to any application.
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!
