 # Authelia DuckDNS & Traefik based Arcane Registry
 
 ## Approach
+ 
+Authelia provides single sign on authentication  
+DuckDNS provides free sub domain redirects, and letsencrypt certificates (domain and wildcard)
 
-Use env variables to template the required labels
+Traefik routes based on labels for services running on the same server  
+Traefik routes based on remote-host.yaml files for services NOT running on the same server. 
+
+Each docker-compose.yml & .env file template includes templated labels to easily configure traefik routing.
+
+>***Tip:*** **Create the following variables in .env.global**  
+>* TZ=America/New_York  
+>* PUID=1000  
+>* PGID=1000  
+>* SERVER_NAME=  
+>* SERVER_IP=  
+>* SUBDOMAIN=  
+>  
+>  Then you can simply remove them from the .env file instead of filling in the values every time.
+
+To disable Authelia for a specific site (like Jellyfin): Comment out this line in the compose file `- ${AUTHELIA_LABEL}`

+## Traefik remote server yaml files
+
+When Traefik is on a different server
+
+* labels in compose files are ignored  (remove to avoid confussion)
+
+* The routers and services must be included in a yaml file under traefik/dynamic 
+
+> **VARIABLES MUST BE REPLACED BY THE ACTUAL VALUES  -  The files in traefik/dynamic do NOT have access to the env variables**  
+***Tip:*** **Use find/replace in your text editor**
+
+```yaml
+http:
+  routers:
+
+    ${SERVICE_NAME}-${SERVER_NAME}:
+      rule: "Host(`${SERVICE_NAME}$.${DOMAIN}`)"
+      service: ${SERVICE_NAME}-${SERVER_NAME}-service
+      entrypoints:
+        - websecure
+      tls:
+        certResolver: letsencrypt
+      middlewares:
+        - authelia@docker
+
+
+  services:
+
+    ${SERVICE_NAME}-${SERVER_NAME}-service:
+      loadBalancer:
+        servers:
+          - url: "http://${SERVER_IP}:${EXTERNAL_PORT}"
+        passHostHeader: true
+
+```
+
+Filename doesn't technically matter, but it is recomended to either 
+
+* create a file for each service named like `service-server_name-remote-host.yaml`
+
+* OR Create a single file per server like `server_name-remote-host.yaml`
