In my usual fashion, this took a lot longer than I anticipated. I stumbled a couple of times during the video, and it gives you a chance to see how I adjust things. I hope it will be helpful to you all. I've been busy getting a lot of my stuff setup on Authentik over the past few weeks.

[DanielJurnik]

You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for everything you do!

[diyainfotech]

Thanks a lot for making videos that make complex things easy to understand, Not only "Open Source" but also Brian is awesome

[Jims-Garage]

Thanks for the reference, keep up the great work, love the channel! Congratulations on 100k 🎉

[i-am-you-tube]

Thanks a lot Brian for this one. I was just on the point for installing Authentik. Still got Authelia running in the background, thanks to you also. Keep up the good work buddy, very much appreciated 👍🙏

[leetaeryeo]

Ooh, this is something relevant to my interests and professional tasks. Will have to keep this in mind for future projects

[cooptonian]

As usual, great video! Thanks for the shout-out!😁

[oscarcharliezulu]

Just came across your vid whilst browsing around. Brilliant - didnt know about this - or about the other youtubers you mentioned.

[jamesnb]

Awesome tutorial on the Authentik. I followed your Authelia now Authentik, much better! I would be excitied to see if we can setup Authentik with Traefik instead of NPM, if you have sometimes of course! Again, thanks for making so useful guides

[FranckEhret]

Wow, Authentik is "fantastik" ! Thanks for this !

[JoeWhipple]

Since you have done some Free-IPA stuff, you can also federate Authentik with Free-IPA. I find the SUDO management, SSH key management and Password+OTP features of Free-IPA a must have for me.

[Nitdawg-ztdl]

I know this tutorial is a year old but after following you instructions I'm able to achieve everything up to setting up the reverse proxy with NPM. I continue to get a 502 Bad Gateway error.

[ArifKamaruzaman]

I tried Authentik before but I'm still confused about it. Now I watched your video, I'm feeling confident I can make this one work. Finally.


btw, -d means detach.

@AwesomeOpenSource .. I love your videos and have learnt so much from you.Would love to see a video of Nginx+Authelia video ..how to secure the apps hosted on nginx with Authelia .. if you get the time i am sure others will appreciate it too.

[guidglaser]

Thanks 🙏 for sharing knowledge to others.❤ but: would you use docker for official use too?
I thought that would be illegal?

[chupacabrajr]

recently discovered your chanel, it's very neat. props on explaining all that .yml options. love it. insta subsribe

[NorthhtroN]

Love the video, just a quick comment at around 30min I think the section was cut to soon and it jumps from provider to application setup mid provider setup

[TheoWillemse]

is it me or is there an gap in the video at (about) 29:50?

[ArnieHolder]

I recently stumbed across your channel and I have to say, I'm really impressed with the way you present. I appreciate that typically you kind of run through what the configs actually do rather than just paste in a block of code that I have no idea why we are doing that. That's very refreshing.
I did have one problem with this one when I tried to follow along. Everything works exactly as you presented for me, except when I copy in the Nginx (Proxy Manager) code into the Advanced config of Nginx, that host immediately changes to Offline. I've tried it with multiple hosts and they all do the same thing. I have double and triple checked my address for the proxy_pass, but they still show Offline. When I remove the Advance config they immediately go Online. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I'm running version Nginx 2.11.3 in a Docker container on Proxmox 8.2.2.
