**Authelia** is a complete HTTP 2-factor authentication server for proxies like
nginx. It has been made to work with NGINX auth_request module and is currently

## Deployment
If you don't have any LDAP and nginx setup yet, I advise you to follow the
Getting Started. That way, you will not require anything to start.
If you don't have any LDAP and/or nginx setup yet, I advise you to follow the
[Getting Started](#Getting-started) section. That way, you can test it right away
without even configure anything.
Otherwise here are the available steps to deploy on your machine.
Otherwise here are the available steps to deploy **Authelia** on your machine given
your configuration file is **/path/to/your/config.yml**.
### With NPM
npm install -g authelia
authelia /path/to/your/config.yml
### With Docker
docker pull clems4ever/authelia
docker run -v /path/to/your/config.yml:/etc/authelia/config.yml -v /path/to/data/dir:/var/lib/authelia clems4ever/authelia
where **/path/to/data/dir** is the directory where all user data will be stored.
## Getting started
The provided example is docker-based so that you can deploy and test it very
quickly. First clone the repo make sure you don't have anything listening on
port 8080 before starting.
Add the following lines to your /etc/hosts to simulate multiple subdomains
quickly.
### Pre-requisites
#### npm
Make sure you have npm and node installed on your computer.
#### Docker
Make sure you have **docker** and **docker-compose** installed on your machine.
For your information, here are the versions that have been used for testing:
docker --version
gave *Docker version 17.03.1-ce, build c6d412e*.
docker-compose --version
gave *docker-compose version 1.14.0, build c7bdf9e*.
#### Available port
Make sure you don't have anything listening on port 8080.
#### Subdomain aliases
Add the following lines to your **/etc/hosts** to alias multiple subdomains so that nginx can redirect request to the correct virtual host.

In **Authelia**, you need to register a per user TOTP secret before
authenticating. To do that, you need to click on the register button. It will
send a link to the user email address. Since this is an example, no email will
be sent, the link is rather delivered in the file
