Worth using Authelia?
Hey guys, I'm running a simple docker compose server on an old laptop, hosting calibre(web), nextcloud and navidrome exposed on a cloudflare domain. Nextcloud allows 2fa, however navidrome and calibre web don't, so I thought I'd better get onto setting up Authelia..
Been having issues setting it up, and now I'm starting to wonder if its worth the trouble after all. I'm sure NC is fine sercrity wise but will I be fine leaving the other two exposed to the internet? I know having Authelia is definitely better.. but is it really worth it if I haven't pissed off any hackers, and am just a normal dude?
Thanks!

As am alternative for Authelia you can take a look at Authentik. I didn't use it by myself, but read a lot of it. Configuration is done via GUI and not text based like Authelia.
IMHO a much more straight and easier approach would be to use a reverse proxy (like Nginx Proxy Manager and use basic auth.
Ah yeah forgot to say I'm using nginx proxy manager already, screw chucking all that stuff on the internet without a reverse proxy
Will look into authentik though!!
Can vouch for Authentik. Easily to setup and Maintain. I switched from Authelia to Authentik
Trying out Authentik now, and having some more issues... Following various guides I can get to a stage where I access the Authentik UI locally, but when I go into NPM Advanced tab and add the stuff to forward auth requests to Authentic (proxy pass and whatnot), this causes NPM to have that proxy host set to Offline...
I think I might just take a break and get onto this stuff later. I don't know if I'm smart enough for this yet (I'm a data scientist not a computer scientist!!) Still got a lot to learn
