Idp with Authelia

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 -0500

We took a look at Authentik recently that provides a nice centralized authentication and authorization solution that is Open Source and self-hosted. But there are other options out there.

One that caught my attention is Authelia.

Setup

I plan to skip docker and just start with Kubernetes. Since I need to route traffic in, I’ll need a DNS record. I can create that easily in Azure DNS

$ az account set --subscription "Pay-As-You-Go" && az network dns record-set a add-record -g idjdnsrg -z tpk.pw -a 76.156.69.232 -n authelia
{
  "ARecords": [
    {
      "ipv4Address": "76.156.69.232"
    }
  ],
  "TTL": 3600,
  "etag": "d32fd44e-1b18-411c-83a5-722b1862bb18",
  "fqdn": "authelia.tpk.pw.",
  "id": "/subscriptions/d955c0ba-13dc-44cf-a29a-8fed74cbb22d/resourceGroups/idjdnsrg/providers/Microsoft.Network/dnszones/tpk.pw/A/authelia",
  "name": "authelia",
  "provisioningState": "Succeeded",
  "resourceGroup": "idjdnsrg",
  "targetResource": {},
  "trafficManagementProfile": {},
  "type": "Microsoft.Network/dnszones/A"
}

I want to now bring in the helm repo
