# Deployment for Production
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Authelia** can be deployed on bare metal or on Kubernetes with two
|
||
|
|
different kind of artifacts: an npm package or a Docker image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**NOTE:** If not done already, we highly recommend you first follow the
|
||
|
|
[Getting Started] documentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## On Bare Metal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Authelia** has been designed to be a proxy companion handling the
|
||
|
|
authentication and authorization requests for your entire infrastructure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As **Authelia** will be key in your architecture, it requires several
|
||
|
|
components to make it highly-available. Deploying it in production means having an LDAP server for storing the information about the users, a Redis cache to store the user sessions in a distributed manner, a
|
||
|
|
MongoDB to persist user configurations and one or more nginx reverse proxies configured to be used with Authelia. With such a setup **Authelia** can easily be scaled to multiple instances to evenly handle the traffic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**NOTE:** If you don't have all those components, don't worry, there is a way to deploy **Authelia** with only nginx. This is described in [Deployment for Devs].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are the available steps to deploy **Authelia** given
|
||
|
|
the configuration file is **/path/to/your/config.yml**. Note that you can
|
||
|
|
create your own configuration file from [config.template.yml] located at
|
||
|
|
the root of the repo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Deploy With NPM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm install -g authelia
|
||
|
|
authelia /path/to/your/config.yml
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Deploy With Docker
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
docker pull clems4ever/authelia
|
||
|
|
docker run -v /path/to/your/config.yml:/etc/authelia/config.yml clems4ever/authelia
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## On top of Kubernetes

**Authelia** can also be used on top of [Kubernetes] using [nginx ingress
|
||
|
|
controller](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please refer to the following [documentation](../example/kube/README.md)
|
||
|

## FAQ
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Why is this not automated?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ansible would be a very good candidate to automate the installation of such
|
||
|
|
an infrastructure on bare metal. We would be more than happy to review any PR on that matter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Regarding Kubernetes, the right way to go would be to write a helm recipe.
|
||
|
|
Again, we would be glad to review any PR implementing this.
