docs: refactor several areas of documentation (#1726)
Updated all links to use https://www.authelia.com/docs/.
Removed all comment sections from documented configuration on the documentation site and replaced them with their own sections.
Made all documentation inside config.template.yml double hashes, and made all commented configuration sections single quoted.
Added .yamllint.yaml to express our desired YAML styles.
Added a style guide.
Refactored many documentation areas to be 120 char widths where possible. It's by no means exhaustive but is a large start.
Added a statelessness guide for the pending Kubernetes chart introduction.
Added labels to configuration documentation and made many areas uniform.

Getting Started

Docker Compose

Steps

These commands are intended to be run sequentially:

  • git clone https://github.com/authelia/authelia.git
  • cd authelia/examples/compose/local
  • sudo ./setup.sh sudo is required to modify the /etc/hosts file

You can now visit the following locations; replace example.com with the domain you specified in the setup script:

You will need to authorize the self-signed certificate upon visiting each domain. To visit https://secure.example.com you will need to register a device for second factor authentication and confirm by clicking on a link sent by email. Since this is a demo with a fake email address, the content of the email will be stored in ./authelia/notification.txt. Upon registering, you can grab this link easily by running the following command: grep -Eo '"https://.*" ' ./authelia/notification.txt.

Deployment

So you're convinced that Authelia is what you need. You can head to the deployment documentation here. Some recipes have been crafted for helping with the bootstrap of your environment. You can choose between a lite deployment which is deployment advised for a single server setup. However, this setup just does not scale. If you want a full environment that can scale out, use the HA or Kubernetes deployment documentation.
