# Highly-Available Deployment
|
|
|
|
**Authelia** can be deployed on bare metal or on Kubernetes with two
|
|
different kind of artifacts: the distributable version (binary and public_html)
|
|
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 to 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 SQL server like MariaDB 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.
|
|
|
|
Here are the available steps to deploy **Authelia** given
|
|
the configuration file is **/path/to/your/configuration.yml**. Note that you can
|
|
create your own configuration file from [config.template.yml] located at
|
|
the root of the repo.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: Prefer using environment variables to set secrets in production otherwise
|
|
pay attention to the permissions of the configuration file. See
|
|
[secrets](../configuration/secrets.md) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Deploy with the distributable version
|
|
|
|
# Build it if not done already
|
|
$ authelia-scripts build
|
|
$ authelia --config /path/to/your/configuration.yml
|
|
|
|
### Deploy With Docker
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -v /path/to/your/configuration.yml:/config/configuration.yml -e TZ=Europe/Paris authelia/authelia
|
|
|
|
## 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.
