# Configuration
|
|
|
|
Authelia uses a YAML file as configuration file. A template with all possible
|
|
options can be found [here](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/blob/master/config.template.yml), at the root of the repository.
|
|
|
|
When running **Authelia**, you can specify your configuration by passing
|
|
the file path as shown below.
|
|
|
|
$ authelia --config config.custom.yml
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Validation
|
|
|
|
Authelia validates the configuration when it starts. This process checks multiple factors including configuration keys
|
|
that don't exist, configuration keys that have changed, the values of the keys are valid, and that a configuration
|
|
key isn't supplied at the same time as a secret for the same configuration option.
|
|
|
|
You may also optionally validate your configuration against this validation process manually by using the validate-config
|
|
option with the Authelia binary as shown below. Keep in mind if you're using [secrets](./secrets.md) you will have to
|
|
manually provide these if you don't want to get certain validation errors (specifically requesting you provide one of
|
|
the secret values). You can choose to ignore them if you know what you're doing. This command is useful prior to
|
|
upgrading to prevent configuration changes from impacting downtime in an upgrade.
|
|
|
|
$ authelia validate-config configuration.yml
|
|
|

## Duration Notation Format
|
|
|
|
We have implemented a string based notation for configuration options that take a duration. This section describes its
|
|
usage. You can use this implementation in: session for expiration, inactivity, and remember_me_duration; and regulation
|
|
for ban_time, and find_time. This notation also supports just providing the number of seconds instead.
|
|
|
|
The notation is comprised of a number which must be positive and not have leading zeros, followed by a letter
|
|
denoting the unit of time measurement. The table below describes the units of time and the associated letter.
