# Traefik Authelia
## Introduction
This project sets up a Traefik reverse proxy with support for Authelia using Docker Compose. Traefik is a modern HTTP
reverse proxy and load balancer that makes deploying microservices and integrating them with your existing
infrastructure easy. Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server that provides 2FA (two-factor
authentication) and SSO (single sign-on) capabilities, adding an additional layer of security to your services.
