**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] or [Traefik] to tell them wether queries should pass through. Unauthenticated user are
redirected to Authelia Sign-in portal instead.
The architecture is shown in the diagram below.
