Deployment

Podman AppJail

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.
