Comment on How to enhance Caddy's basic_auth?

tubbadu@lemmy.kde.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

I already looked into Authelia, and the “problem” I encountered is that it does not support “named policies” (I don’t know the actual name): what I mean is to be able to create “only_admin_policy”, “only_registered_users_policy” etc, and then in Caddy to be able to say something like this

service1.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container1:1234
    apply_policy only_admin_policy
}
service2.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container2:1234
    apply_policy only_registered_users_policy
}
service3.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container3:1234
}

Instead if I understood correctly (and I would gladly be proved wrong) this is not possible with Authelia, as these policies have to be specified inside Authelia, so I would have two different configurations in two different places instead of having everything in the Caddyfile

I hope I explained well what I mean

thanks for the help!

yes, it can do that, assuming you are using LDAP or have set up users/groups in the Authelia config. you don’t need to set it up in the caddyfile though, you can handle everything from Authelia’s end. for example, here is a typical protected item from my caddyfile.

# this is a bit of code at the top that I use for every protected item, and call it each time to save space (protected) { tls /ssl/home-cert.pem /ssl/home-key.pem forward_auth :4100 { uri /api/verify?rd=https://auth.myurl.xyz/ copy_headers Remote-User Remote-Groups Remote-Name Remote-Email header_up Host {upstream_hostport} } encode gzip } # UptimeKuma uptime.myurl.xyz { # now to call the code above for this item import protected * reverse_proxy :4000 }

that’s all I need in my caddyfile, just the bits that forward the information about the user to each site to log them in. I can then handle all the auth rules like saying which sites are only for admins or users in the Authelia config. since I use LDAP, I can set up the groups in that, then just specify which sites are DENY or TWO_FACTOR for each group in the Authelia config. or even in the apps themselves, if they support LDAP like Jellyfin and Forgejo.
