Authentication with Authentik

This application is compatible with Authentik. Make sure to create a Proxy Provider for Forward auth (single application). To protect the admin & create routes, add the following configuration to your Nginx Proxy Manager config in the Advanced section. For other web server applications, see the Setup area in Authentik on the Provider page for this app and setup the routes accordingly.

# Protected routes
location ~ (/create|/admin) {
    proxy_pass	$forward_scheme://$server:$port;
    auth_request /outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/nginx;
    error_page 401 = @goauthentik_proxy_signin;
    auth_request_set $auth_cookie $upstream_http_set_cookie;
    add_header Set-Cookie $auth_cookie;
    auth_request_set $authentik_username $upstream_http_x_authentik_username;
    auth_request_set $authentik_groups $upstream_http_x_authentik_groups;
    auth_request_set $authentik_email $upstream_http_x_authentik_email;
    auth_request_set $authentik_name $upstream_http_x_authentik_name;
    auth_request_set $authentik_uid $upstream_http_x_authentik_uid;
    auth_request_set $authentik_authorization $upstream_http_authorization;
    proxy_set_header X-authentik-username $authentik_username;
    proxy_set_header X-authentik-groups $authentik_groups;
    proxy_set_header X-authentik-email $authentik_email;
    proxy_set_header X-authentik-name $authentik_name;
    proxy_set_header X-authentik-uid $authentik_uid;
    proxy_set_header Authorization $authentik_authorization;
}

# Authentik outpost configuration
location /outpost.goauthentik.io {
    proxy_pass	http://<YOUR_AUTHENTIK_URL>/outpost.goauthentik.io;
    proxy_set_header        Host $host;
    proxy_set_header        X-Original-URL $scheme://$http_host$request_uri;
    add_header              Set-Cookie $auth_cookie;
    auth_request_set        $auth_cookie $upstream_http_set_cookie;
    proxy_pass_request_body off;
    proxy_set_header        Content-Length "";
}

# Authentik signin redirect
location @goauthentik_proxy_signin {
    internal;
    add_header Set-Cookie $auth_cookie;
    return 302 /outpost.goauthentik.io/start?rd=$request_uri;
}

This configuration will:

Protect the /create and /admin routes with Authentik authentication
Redirect unauthenticated users to the Authentik login page
Pass through Authentik user information in headers after successful authentication
Handle the authentication flow through the Authentik outpost
Properly manage cookies and headers for the authentication process

Note: Replace <YOUR_AUTHENTIK_URL> with your actual Authentik instance URL.
