A plugin for Jellyfin that allows the use of [Authelia](https://www.authelia.com/) as an authentication and authorization backend.

## Description

Unlike the [SSO plugin](https://github.com/9p4/jellyfin-plugin-sso), this plugin uses [Authelia HTTP API](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/blob/master/api/openapi.yml).

The benefit of that approach is a native Jellyfin form and API for authentication. This means that any existing Jellyfin client should work with this plugin.

The main drawback of this approach is that only username+password authentication is supported (no 2FA).

The plugin will automatically create a new Jellyfin user upon successful authentication. Any valid Authelia user can log in to Jellyfin.

## Usage

1. Add `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nikarh/jellyfin-plugin-authelia/main/manifest.json` as a new Jellyfin plugin repository

2. Install the `Authelia Authentication` plugin from the catalog

3. Configure the plugin by entering the URL of your Authelia server (can be either private or public), and a URL of your Jellyfin installation used in the Authelia `configuration.yml` rule.

## Authelia configuration

This plugin uses `/api/authz/auth-request` [endpoint](https://www.authelia.com/configuration/miscellaneous/server-endpoints-authz) for authentication.

If your Authelia `configuration.yml` file contains `server.endpoints.authz` section it [overrides](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/blob/eefd06e81b61a113269de3e38ae6ed7d096665ee/internal/configuration/validator/server.go#L122) the [defaults](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/blob/eefd06e81b61a113269de3e38ae6ed7d096665ee/internal/configuration/schema/server.go#L67), so you must explicitly enable `auth-request` endpoints:

```yaml

server:

    endpoints:

        authz:

            auth-request:

                implementation: 'AuthRequest'

```
