Authelia with Caddy
It's now possible to use Authelia with Caddy V2.5.1 - no plugins necessary!
What is it?
Authelia is an open source authentication and authorization server protecting modern web applications by collaborating with reverse proxies such as NGINX, Traefik and HAProxy. Consequently, no code is required to protect your apps.
A few helpful hints:
Creating a password for Authelia users (local accounts) when using Docker image:
docker-compose exec authelia authelia hash-password "Pass To Convert Goes Here"HTTP only sites:
To prevent "Cookie Theft", the Caddy entry point (e.g. "https://blog.xga.ie") must be HTTPS, so HTTP only won't work with Authelia.
