# SALA/D Setup
Instructions to set up the SALA/D Part of the stack.

## Overview of the SALA/D Stack:

The SALA/D stack, or SWAG, Authelia, LLDAP, Authy/Duo stack is a simple way to get a webserver/reverse proxy, an identity and access control management system, as well as 2FA; all working together to host whatever you'd like. Here is what does what:

- Swag :simple-icons-linuxserver:
  - Handles the webserver and reverse proxy.
  - All configuration is handled via *.conf* files and text
  - This guide also demonstrates how to set up the Docker Mods Auto Reload, GeoIPBlock, and ...

- Authelia :simple-icons-authelia:
  - Handles weblogin and the front end of 2FA.
  - This has one configuration file, and hooks into LLDAP.

- LLDAP :material-symbols-lock:
  - Handles the "identity" part of the Authentication solution.
  - Requires that a domain is setup, and has a bit of a learning curve.
  - This has a bit of configuration involved whenever you setup a new application with LDAP integrations, however, [LLDAP's GitHub page](https://github.com/lldap/lldap) usually has sample configurations on how to setup LDAP auth for an application.

- Authy/Duo
  - Pick one between Authy or Duo
    - Authy :logos-authy:
      - This allows for 2FA via an 8 digit code. The configuration is handled via Authelia, with the end user setting up 2FA through the Authy App or through Bit/Vaultwarden. The user can self register their 2FA in this way, through email.
    - Duo
      - This allows for 2FA via a push notification on your phone. The configuration is handled via Authelia.
