*Authelia* loads `configuration.yml` as the configuration if you just run it. You can override this behaviour with the
|
|
following syntax:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
authelia --config config.custom.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Multiple Configuration Files
|
|
|
|
You can have multiple configuration files which will be merged in the order specified. If duplicate keys are specified
|
|
the last one to be specified is the one that takes precedence. Example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
authelia --config configuration.yml --config config-acl.yml --config config-other.yml
|
|
authelia --config configuration.yml,config-acl.yml,config-other.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Authelia's configuration files use the YAML format. A template with all possible options can be found at the root of the
|
|
repository [here](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/blob/master/config.template.yml).
|
|
|
|
*__Important Note:__ You should not have configuration sections such as Access Control Rules or OpenID Connect clients
|
|
configured in multiple files. If you wish to split these into their own files that is fine, but if you have two files that
|
|
specify these sections and expect them to merge properly you are asking for trouble.*
|
|
|
|
### Container
|
|
|
|
By default, the container looks for a configuration file at `/config/configuration.yml`.
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
This is an example of how to override the configuration files loaded in docker:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -d --volume /path/to/config:/config authelia:authelia:latest authelia --config=/config/configuration.yaml --config=/config/configuration.acl.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [Docker Documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/) for more information on the
|
|
`docker run` command.
|
|
|
|
### Docker Compose
|
|
|
|
An excerpt from a docker compose that allows you to specify multiple configuration files is as follows:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
version: "3.8"
|
|
services:
|
|
authelia:
|
|
container_name: authelia
|
|
image: authelia/authelia:latest
|
|
command:
|
|
- "authelia"
|
|
- "--config=/config/configuration.yaml"
|
|
- "--config=/config/configuration.acl.yaml"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [compose file reference](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3/#command) for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
### Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
An excerpt from a Kubernetes container that allows you to specify multiple configuration files is as follows:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
kind: Deployment
|
|
apiVersion: apps/v1
|
|
metadata:
|
|

|
|

|
|
args:
|
|
- '--config=/configuration.yaml'
|
|
- '--config=/configuration.acl.yaml'
|
|
```
