This was actually pretty interesting until I found out that Caddy is not yet supported :(

Thank you anyway!

I already looked into Authelia, and the “problem” I encountered is that it does not support “named policies” (I don’t know the actual name): what I mean is to be able to create “only_admin_policy”, “only_registered_users_policy” etc, and then in Caddy to be able to say something like this

service1.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container1:1234
    apply_policy only_admin_policy
}
service2.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container2:1234
    apply_policy only_registered_users_policy
}
service3.website.com {
    reverse_proxy container3:1234
}

Instead if I understood correctly (and I would gladly be proved wrong) this is not possible with Authelia, as these policies have to be specified inside Authelia, so I would have two different configurations in two different places instead of having everything in the Caddyfile

I hope I explained well what I mean

thanks for the help!

How does programmatic access tie into the desire for a login form?

I would like to keep files with “private” information protected from public access, but I would like to access them from a script. An example: i wrote a karaoke application to use with my friends, they have to go to a webpage and select the songs they like, and then the karaoke app connects to the server to get the updated preference file. I would like that the users had a “nice login form” to select their songs, and then I’d like my karaoke app to easily download the file while still keeping it password-protected

This looks very interesting! I see that it supports users groups, would it be possible to create “named access policies” (like “admin_only_policy”, “group_XXX_policy” ecc) and then assign them to the various services directly in the Caddyfile? thank you very much!
