[Authelia](https://www.authelia.com/docs/) is an authentication agent, which can be plugged to an LDAP server, and that Traefik can used to check permissions to access services.
The authentication layer is optional. If used, the config file needs the variables `https_port`, `authentication_domain_name`, `authelia_config_path`, `authelia_secrets_env_path`, `authelia_db_postgres_password`.
Authelia is accessed automatically by Traefik to check permissions everytime someones wants to access a page.
