Stop Exposing Your Apps — Secure Everything with Authelia (Unraid Guide)

If you're exposing your apps to the internet without protection… you're taking a risk. In this video, I’ll show you how to set up Authelia on Unraid and add login + two-factor authentication in front of your apps using NGINX Proxy Manager. This gives you a centralized authentication system so you only log in once — and everything behind it is protected. We’ll walk through installing Authelia, creating the configuration files, setting up DNS and SSL, enabling 2FA, and then protecting a real app so you can see exactly how it works. 📄 Download the config files and commands used in this video: 👉 https://github.com/AlienTech42/unraid-config-files/tree/main/authelia 🚀 Free Unraid Getting Started Guide: 👉 https://alientech42.kit.com/5e40652209 💬 Join the Discord: 👉 https://discord.gg/kst8fMPx4t 💡 What you’ll learn: - How Authelia works as a reverse proxy authentication layer - How to generate secrets and password hashes - How to configure Authelia on Unraid - How to add 2FA to your apps - How to protect apps like Lidarr with NGINX Proxy Manager 🧰 Tech I Recommend: 👉 Unraid: https://unraid.net/pricing?via=alientech42 👉 VPN (PIA): https://unraid.net/pricing?via=alientech42 If you found this helpful, consider subscribing — more Unraid and self-hosted content coming every week. #unraid #homelab #selfhosted #authelia #docker Video links and scripts: 🔗 FolderView Plus Video: https://youtu.be/FrpwuF84tcs 🔗 Discord: https://discord.gg/kst8fMPx4t 🔗 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AlienTech42 Support the Channel 🔥 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AlienTech42 🔥 Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/alientech42 🔥 Shop on Amazon (no extra cost): https://amzn.to/3vedMqV If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more Unraid tutorials!
