+## Architecture Overview
+
+This stack uses a combination of key services for routing, access, and security:
+
+*   **[Tailscale](https://tailscale.com):** Provides a secure overlay network (WireGuard-based VPN) connecting your devices. It allows access to the NAS services from anywhere without opening firewall ports and handles HTTPS termination via its built-in `tailscale serve` or `tailscale funnel` features. All other services run within Tailscale's network namespace.
+*   **[Traefik](https://traefik.io):** Acts as a reverse proxy *within* the Tailscale network. It discovers services via Docker labels and routes incoming requests (from Tailscale) to the appropriate container based on paths (e.g., `/sonarr`, `/radarr`).
+*   **[Authelia](https://www.authelia.com):** Serves as the authentication gateway. Traefik forwards requests to Authelia for verification. If a user isn't logged in, they are redirected to the Authelia portal (`/`). Once authenticated, Authelia sets a session cookie (stored in Redis), and Traefik allows access to the requested service.
+

-## Quick Start
+## Required Setup Steps
 
-1.  **Clone the Repository:**
+These steps are **mandatory** for a working installation. Without properly completing these, the stack will not function correctly.
+
+1. **⚠️ Required: System User Information**
+   - Set `USER_ID` and `GROUP_ID` in `.env` (run `id -u` and `id -g` to get yours)
+   - Incorrect values will cause permission errors with mounted volumes
+
+2. **⚠️ Required: Directory Paths**
+   - Set `CONFIG_ROOT` (where service configurations will be stored)
+   - Set `DATA_ROOT` (where your media libraries will be stored)
+   - Set `DOWNLOAD_ROOT` (must be on same filesystem as DATA_ROOT for hardlinks)
+
+3. **⚠️ Required: Tailscale Configuration**
+   - Create a Tailscale account at [tailscale.com](https://tailscale.com)
+   - Generate an Auth Key in the [Tailscale Admin Console](https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys)
+   - Set `TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY` in `.env`
+   - Set `TAILSCALE_TAILNET_DOMAIN` to your Tailnet domain (e.g., `your-name.ts.net`)
+
+4. **⚠️ Required: Security Credentials**
+   - Generate four strong random secrets using `openssl rand -hex 32`:
+     ```bash
+     echo "AUTHELIA_JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
+     echo "AUTHELIA_SESSION_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
+     echo "AUTHELIA_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
+     echo "AUTHELIA_REDIS_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
+     ```
+   - Add these to your `.env` file as shown
+   
+5. **⚠️ Required: Create Admin Password**
+   - Generate a password hash for Authelia:
+     ```bash
+     docker run --rm authelia/authelia:latest authelia hash-password 'your_secure_password'
+     ```
+   - Replace the example hash in `authelia/users_database.yml` with your generated hash
+
+## Quick Start Guide
+
+After completing all [Required Setup Steps](#required-setup-steps) above, follow these steps to get up and running:
+
+1. **Clone Repository:**
    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/AdrienPoupa/docker-compose-nas.git
    cd docker-compose-nas
    ```
 
-2.  **Create Configuration File:**
-    Copy the example environment file:
+2. **Configure Environment:**
    ```bash
+   # Create an .env file from the example
    cp .env.example .env
+   
+   # Edit the .env file and fill in ALL required values
+   nano .env
    ```
 
-3.  **Edit `.env` File:**
-    Open the `.env` file with a text editor and configure it according to your system and preferences. **This is the most crucial step.** See the detailed [Configuration (`.env` File)](#configuration-env-file) section below for explanations of each variable. Minimally, you **must** set `USER_ID`, `GROUP_ID`, `TIMEZONE`, `HOSTNAME`, and `TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY`.
+3. **Configure Authelia Admin:**
+   ```bash
+   # Generate a password hash
+   docker run --rm authelia/authelia:latest authelia hash-password 'your_secure_password'
+   
+   # Edit the users_database.yml with the generated hash
+   nano authelia/users_database.yml
+   ```
 
 4. **Start the Stack:**
-    Run Docker Compose (use `sudo` if your user isn't in the `docker` group):
    ```bash
+   # Make helper script executable (if needed)
+   chmod +x ./update-config.sh
+   chmod +x ./update-env.sh
+   
+   # Start containers
    docker compose up -d
    ```
-    This will pull the necessary images and start all the core services in the background.
 
-5.  **Run Initial Configuration Script:**
-    This script helps configure base URLs and API keys within the running *arr applications based on your `.env` file.
+5. **Configure Service API Keys** (after stack is running):
    ```bash
+   # Optional: Run config script to set API keys
    ./update-config.sh
    ```
-    *(Note: You might need to make it executable first: `chmod +x ./update-config.sh`)*
 
-6.  **Access Services:** Once Tailscale is connected, you should be able to access your services via `https://<TAILSCALE_HOSTNAME>.<your-tailnet-name>.ts.net/<service_path>` or `https://<TAILSCALE_IP>/<service_path>`. If you set up DNS for your `HOSTNAME`, you can use `https://<HOSTNAME>/<service_path>`. The main dashboard is at `/`.
+6. **Access Your NAS:**
+   - Open `https://<TAILSCALE_HOSTNAME>.<TAILSCALE_TAILNET_DOMAIN>/`
+   - Log in with username `admin` and the password you set
+   - After login, you'll land on the Homepage dashboard at `/home`

-*   `CONFIG_ROOT`: The base directory on your host where configuration files for each service will be stored. Using `.` stores them in subdirectories within the project folder.
-    *   *Default:* `.`
-*   `DATA_ROOT`: The main directory on your host containing your media libraries (movies, TV shows, music, books).
-    *   *Default:* `/mnt/data`
-*   `DOWNLOAD_ROOT`: The directory on your host where the download client (qBittorrent/SABnzbd) will store downloads in progress and completed files *before* they are imported by *arr apps.
-    *   *Default:* `/mnt/data/torrents`
-    *   **Hardlink Note:** For efficient storage (avoiding duplicate files), it's highly recommended that `DOWNLOAD_ROOT` is on the **same filesystem** as `DATA_ROOT` (e.g., `/mnt/data/torrents` is inside `/mnt/data`). This allows instant moves via hardlinks instead of slow copies.

+### Authelia User Management
 
-*   `SONARR_API_KEY`
-*   `RADARR_API_KEY`
-*   `LIDARR_API_KEY` (If Lidarr profile is enabled)
-*   `BAZARR_API_KEY`
-*   `PROWLARR_API_KEY`
-*   `JELLYFIN_API_KEY`
-*   `JELLYSEERR_API_KEY`
-*   `SABNZBD_API_KEY` (If SABnzbd profile is enabled)
-*   `ADGUARD_USERNAME` / `ADGUARD_PASSWORD` (If AdGuard Home profile is enabled)
-*   `CALIBRE_USERNAME` / `CALIBRE_PASSWORD` (If Calibre-Web profile is enabled)
+Authelia uses the `authelia/users_database.yml` file to manage users.
 
----
+*   **Setting the Initial Admin Password:**
+    1.  As mentioned in the Quick Start, you **must** set a strong password for the default `admin` user.
+    2.  Generate a hash using Docker (replace `'your_secure_password'`):
+        ```bash
+        docker run --rm authelia/authelia:latest authelia hash-password 'your_secure_password'
+        ```
+    3.  Copy the **entire output hash** (starting with `$argon2id...`).
+    4.  Open `authelia/users_database.yml` and replace the example `password:` value under `admin:` with your generated hash.
+    5.  Ensure the `admin` user belongs to the `admins` and `users` groups as shown in the example.
 
-### **Homepage Customization (Optional)**
+*   **Adding More Users:**
+    1.  Generate a password hash for the new user as shown above.
+    2.  Edit `authelia/users_database.yml`.
+    3.  Add a new entry under `users:`, following the format of the `admin` user:
+        ```yaml
+        users:
+          admin:
+            # ... (admin details) ...
+          newuser:
+            displayname: "New User Name"
+            password: "paste_generated_hash_here"
+            email: newuser@example.com
+            groups:
+              - users # Add to 'admins' group if needed
+        ```
+    4.  Save the file. Authelia should pick up the changes automatically (or restart the Authelia container: `docker compose restart authelia`).
 
-Control the appearance and behavior of the Homepage dashboard.
+*   **Enabling User Registration (Optional):**
+    1.  Edit `authelia/configuration.yml`.
+    2.  Find the commented-out `registration:` section near the bottom.
+    3.  Uncomment it and set `enable: true`:
+        ```yaml
+        # registration:
+        #   enable: false # Set to true to enable registration form
+        ```
+        becomes:
+        ```yaml
+        registration:
+          enable: true
+        ```
+    4.  Save the file and restart Authelia (`docker compose restart authelia`).
+    5.  A "Register" link will now appear on the Authelia login page.
 
-*   `HOMEPAGE_VAR_TITLE`: Title shown on the dashboard.
-    *   *Default:* `Docker-Compose NAS`
-*   `HOMEPAGE_VAR_SEARCH_PROVIDER`: Default search engine. [See options](https://gethomepage.dev/en/widgets/search/).

-    *   *Default:* `boxed`
-*   `HOMEPAGE_VAR_WEATHER_CITY`, `_LAT`, `_LONG`, `_UNIT`: Configure the weather widget.
+*   **Approving Registered Users:**
+    1.  When a user registers (if enabled), their details are added to `authelia/users_database.yml` but marked as `disabled: true`.
+    2.  To approve them, edit `authelia/users_database.yml`.
+    3.  Find the new user's entry.
+    4.  Change `disabled: true` to `disabled: false` (or simply remove the `disabled: true` line).
+    5.  Save the file. The user should now be able to log in.

+*(Details about configuring the PIA VPN or other VPN setups could go here if needed.)*
 
-Credentials for included download clients.
+### (Optional) Traefik DNS Challenge
 
-*   `QBITTORRENT_USERNAME`: Username for qBittorrent Web UI.
-    *   *Default:* `admin`
-*   `QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD`: Password for qBittorrent Web UI.
-    *   *Default:* `adminadmin`
-    *   **Note:** On first run, qBittorrent might generate a temporary password shown in its logs (`docker compose logs qbittorrent`). Log in with that, change the password in qBittorrent settings, and update this `.env` variable accordingly.
-
----
-
-### **VPN Configuration (Example: PIA - Optional)**
-
-These variables are specific to the example `thrnz/docker-wireguard-pia` VPN container used for qBittorrent in the default setup. If you use a different VPN provider or container, you'll need different variables. **If you don't use the VPN, you can ignore these.**
-
-*   `PIA_USER`: Private Internet Access username.
-*   `PIA_PASS`: Private Internet Access password.
-*   `PIA_LOCATION`: PIA server location code (e.g., `ca_montreal`, `us_east`). [See list](https://serverlist.piaservers.net/vpninfo/servers/v6).

-*   `LETS_ENCRYPT_CA_SERVER`: Let's Encrypt server URL (use staging for testing).
-    *   *Default:* `https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory` (Production)
-*   Provider-Specific Variables (e.g., `CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL`, `CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN`, `CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_API_TOKEN`): Credentials required by your chosen `DNS_CHALLENGE_PROVIDER`. Refer to Traefik documentation.
-
----
-
-### **Compose Profiles & Files (Advanced)**
-
-*   `COMPOSE_PROFILES`: Comma-separated list of optional service profiles to enable (e.g., `lidarr,sabnzbd,adguardhome`). See [Optional Services](#optional-services).
-*   `COMPOSE_FILE`: Colon-separated list of compose files to use. Allows extending the base configuration.
-    *   *Default:* `docker-compose.yml`
+*(Details about setting up DNS provider credentials for Let's Encrypt could go here if needed.)*
 
 ## Service Access
 
-With the default Tailscale setup, services are securely accessible via HTTPS using your Tailscale node's name or IP, followed by the service path. Replace `<TAILSCALE_NODE>` with your Tailscale device name (e.g., `tailscale-nas.your-tailnet.ts.net`) or its Tailscale IP address.
+With the default Tailscale setup and Authelia enabled, services are securely accessible via HTTPS using your Tailscale node's name or IP. Access requires authentication via Authelia.

 *   **Jellyfin:** `https://<TAILSCALE_NODE>/jellyfin`
-*   **Calibre-Web:** `https://<TAILSCALE_NODE>/calibre` (If profile enabled)
-*   **AdGuard Home:** `http://<TAILSCALE_NODE_IP>:3000` (If profile enabled, access via IP/port initially)
-*   **Tandoor Recipes:** `https://<TAILSCALE_NODE>/recipes` (If profile enabled)
-*   **Joplin Server:** `https://<TAILSCALE_NODE>/joplin` (If profile enabled)
-*   **Home Assistant:** `http://<TAILSCALE_NODE_IP>:8123` (If profile enabled, access via IP/port initially)
-*   **Immich:** `http://<TAILSCALE_NODE_IP>:2283` (If profile enabled, access via IP/port initially)
+*   ...and so on.
 
-**Note:**
-*   `<TAILSCALE_NODE>` refers to the full Tailscale name (e.g., `tailscale-nas.your-tailnet.ts.net`).
-*   `<TAILSCALE_NODE_IP>` refers to the Tailscale IP address of the NAS.
-*   Some services (AdGuard, HA, Immich) might require initial setup via their direct IP and port before Tailscale/Traefik routing is fully effective or configured within the application. Authentication for most services will be handled by Authelia (configured later).
+Replace `<TAILSCALE_NODE>` with your Tailscale device name (e.g., `tailscale-nas.your-tailnet.ts.net`) or its Tailscale IP address.
+
+If you configure DNS for your `APP_HOSTNAME` variable to point to the Tailscale IP, you can use `https://<APP_HOSTNAME>/<service_path>`.

+### Authelia v4.38+ Configuration
+
+Authelia v4.38+ introduces significant changes to its configuration structure, particularly for session domains and authentication flows. This Docker Compose template has been updated to support these changes, making it easier to set up:
+
+1. **Simplified Configuration**: The setup now uses a more reliable approach with wildcard domain matching (`*.ts.net`) that works properly with Tailscale domains. This eliminates environment variable interpolation issues that were causing errors in previous versions.
+
+2. **No Manual YAML Editing Required**: You don't need to edit the Authelia configuration file manually. The important settings are configured through environment variables in the Docker Compose setup.
+
+3. **Required Secret Variables**: You only need to set these four variables in your `.env` file:
+   - `AUTHELIA_JWT_SECRET`: Used for password reset tokens
+   - `AUTHELIA_SESSION_SECRET`: Used for session cookie encryption
+   - `AUTHELIA_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY`: Used for database encryption
+   - `AUTHELIA_REDIS_PASSWORD`: Used for Redis authentication
+
+   Generate strong random values for these with: `openssl rand -hex 32`
+
+4. **File Permissions Fixed**: The Authelia container now runs with your user ID and group ID, preventing permission issues when managing the configuration files with git or other tools.
+
+5. **Common Error Solutions**: If you encounter configuration errors like these:
+   ```
+   error decoding 'session.cookies[0].authelia_url': could not decode 'https://${APP_HOSTNAME}'
+   can't be specified at the same time: option 'domain' and option 'cookies'
+   ```
+   The solution is already implemented in the updated configuration. No manual fixes needed.
+
+If you need to make changes to the domain settings for some reason, edit `authelia/configuration.yml` and modify the `*.ts.net` wildcard pattern to match your specific domain. For most setups using Tailscale, the default configuration will work without any changes.
+
+After making changes to the configuration, restart Authelia with:
+```bash
+docker compose restart authelia
+```
+
+See the [Authelia documentation](https://www.authelia.com/configuration/session/introduction/) for more details on the v4.38+ configuration structure.
+
 ### Tailscale Issues
 
 *   **Authentication:** Ensure your `TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY` in `.env` is valid and hasn't expired (especially if using ephemeral keys). Check the `tailscale` container logs (`docker compose logs tailscale`) for authentication errors.
