to try this out with minimal adjustments:

- specify what filesystem-path to share with copyparty, replacing the default/example value `/srv/pub` in `docker-compose.yml`
- add `127.0.0.1 fs.example.com traefik.example.com authelia.example.com` to your `/etc/hosts`
- `sudo docker-compose up`
- login to https://fs.example.com/ with username `authelia` password `authelia`

to use this in a safe and secure manner:

- follow a guide on setting up [authelia](https://www.authelia.com/integration/proxies/traefik/#docker-compose) properly and use the copyparty-specific parts of this folder as inspiration for your own config; namely the `cpp` subfolder and the `copyparty` service in `docker-compose.yml`

this folder is based on:

- https://github.com/authelia/authelia/tree/39763aaed24c4abdecd884b47357a052b235942d/examples/compose/lite

incomplete list of modifications made:

- support for running with podman as root on fedora (`:z` volumes, `label:disable`)
- explicitly using authelia `v4.38.0-beta3` because config syntax changed since last stable release
- reduced logging from debug to info
- implemented a docker socket-proxy to not bind the docker.socket directly to traefik
- using valkey instead of redis for caching

# security

there is probably/definitely room for improvement in this example setup. Some ideas taken from [github issue #62](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/issues/62):

- Move valkey to a private network shared with just authelia
- Add `watchtower` to manage your image version updates
- Drop bridge networking for just exposing traefik's public ports

If you manage to improve on any of this, especially in a way that might be useful for other people, consider sending a PR :>

# performance

currently **not optimal,** at least when compared to running the python sfx outside of docker... some numbers from my laptop (ryzen4500u/fedora39):

authelia is behaving strangely, handling 340 requests per second for a while, but then it suddenly drops to 75 and stays there...

I'm assuming all of the performance issues is due to a misconfiguration of authelia/traefik/docker on my end, but I don't relly know where to start
