Single sign-on and two-factor portal. The admin user is created at first boot from a generated password (visible in the service environment settings, never on a process command line); more users go in /data/users.yml. Sessions are scoped to this portal’s own host, so widen the cookie domain in /config/configuration.yml before protecting other apps. One-time codes are written to /data/notification.txt. This page describes the Levelrail template for Authelia (Security). It deploys the services below as one Docker Compose app on your own server. Project site: https://www.authelia.com/configuration/prologue/introduction/. Recommended memory: about 256 MiB.

Security and requirements

Level: Standard. What this template needs:
  • Passwords and keys are generated at deploy time (authelia): ADMIN_PASSWORD, AUTHELIA_IDENTITY_VALIDATION_RESET_PASSWORD_JWT_SECRET, AUTHELIA_SESSION_SECRET, AUTHELIA_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY.
  • Stores data in named volumes (authelia): config, data.
What Levelrail adds around it:
  • Automatic HTTPS and an ingress shield in front of every domain.
  • Secrets are generated, stored encrypted and masked in logs and the UI.
  • Named volumes can be backed up and restored.
  • Deploys are gated on the health check before traffic switches.
  • One-step rollback to the previous revision.
  • Exposure report shows what is reachable from outside.
  • Host firewall rules managed for published ports.
