Prerequisites

Before deploying, ensure your host environment is ready. See the Quick Start Guide for host setup instructions.

Deployment

Podman Compose

1. Save as .env and fill in what is empty:

# Authelia for FreeBSD (Daemonless)
# Copy to .env and edit.

# Authelia configuration directory (configuration.yml, users_database.yml)
CONFIG_LOCATION=/containers/authelia/config

# Redis session store data
REDIS_DATA_LOCATION=/containers/authelia/redis

# Timezone (TZ identifier)
# TZ=UTC

2. Save as compose.yaml:

name: authelia

services:
  authelia-server:
    image: ghcr.io/daemonless/authelia-server:latest
    container_name: authelia-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=${TZ:-UTC}
    volumes:
      - ${CONFIG_LOCATION}:/config
    ports:
      - 9091:9091
    depends_on:
      - redis

  redis:
    container_name: authelia_redis
    image: ghcr.io/daemonless/redis:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - ${REDIS_DATA_LOCATION}:/config

Then run podman-compose up -d.

.env:

# .env

DIRECTOR_PROJECT=authelia-server
PUID=1000
PGID=1000
TZ=UTC
CONFIG_LOCATION=/containers/authelia/config
REDIS_DATA_LOCATION=/containers/authelia/redis

appjail-director.yml:

# appjail-director.yml

options:
  - alias:
  - ip4_inherit:
services:
  authelia-server:
    name: authelia_server
    options:
      - container: 'args:--pull'
      - expose: '9091:9091 proto:tcp'
    oci:
      user: root
      environment:
        - PUID: !ENV '${PUID}'
        - PGID: !ENV '${PGID}'
        - TZ: !ENV '${TZ}'
        - CONFIG_LOCATION: !ENV '${CONFIG_LOCATION}'
        - REDIS_DATA_LOCATION: !ENV '${REDIS_DATA_LOCATION}'
    volumes:
      - authelia-server: /config
  authelia-redis:
    name: authelia_redis
    options:
      - from: ghcr.io/daemonless/redis:latest
      - template: !ENV '${PWD}/template.conf'
    volumes:
      - redis_data: /config
volumes:
  authelia-server:
    device: '/containers/authelia-server'
  redis_data:
    device: !ENV '${REDIS_DATA_LOCATION}'

Makejail:

# Makejail

ARG tag=latest

OPTION container=boot
OPTION overwrite=force
OPTION from=ghcr.io/daemonless/authelia-server:${tag}

Save the files above, then run appjail-director up.

Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

To avoid exposing ports, just remove the expose option in your appjail-director.yml or from your command-line arguments.

Access at: http://localhost:9091
