authelia/docs/configuration/migration.md

layout	title	parent	nav_order
default	Migration	Configuration	6

This section documents changes in the configuration which may require manual migration by the administrator. Typically this only occurs when a configuration key is renamed or moved to a more appropriate location.

Format

The migrations are formatted in a table with the old key and the new key. Periods indicate a different section which can be represented in YAML as a dictionary i.e. it's indented.

In our table server.host with a value of 0.0.0.0 is represented in YAML like this:

server:
  host: 0.0.0.0

Policy

Our deprecation policy for configuration keys is 3 minor versions. For example if a configuration option is deprecated in version 4.30.0, it will remain as a warning for 4.30.x, 4.31.x, and 4.32.x; then it will become a fatal error in 4.33.0+.

Migrations

4.30.0

The following changes occurred in 4.30.0:

Previous Key	New Key
host	server.host
port	server.port
tls_key	server.tls.key
tls_cert	server.tls.certificate
log_level	log.level
log_file_path	log.file_path
log_format	log.format

Kubernetes 4.30.0

Please Note: if you're using Authelia with Kubernetes and are not using the provided helm chart you will be required to set the following option in your PodSpec. Keeping in mind this example is for a Pod, not for a Deployment, StatefulSet, or DaemonSet; you will need to adapt the enableServiceLinks option to fit into the relevant location depending on your needs.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod

  enableServiceLinks: false

4.25.0

The following changes occurred in 4.25.0:

Previous Key	New Key
authentication_backend.ldap.tls.skip_verify	authentication_backend.ldap.tls.skip_verify
authentication_backend.ldap.minimum_tls_version	authentication_backend.ldap.tls.minimum_version
notifier.smtp.disable_verify_cert	notifier.smtp.tls.skip_verify
notifier.smtp.trusted_cert	certificates_directory

Please Note: certificates_directory is not a direct replacement for the notifier.smtp.trusted_cert, instead of being the path to a specific file it is a path to a directory containing certificates trusted by Authelia. This affects other services like LDAP as well.

4.7.0

The following changes occurred in 4.7.0:

Previous Key	New Key
logs_level	log_level
logs_file	log_file

Please Note: The new keys also changed in 4.30.0 so you will need to update them to the new values if you are using 4.30.0 or newer instead of the new keys listed here.
