Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server
providing 2-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for your
applications via a web portal.
It acts as a companion of reverse proxies like nginx, Traefik or HAProxy to let them know whether queries should pass through. Unauthenticated user are
