## Quick Start
1. **Install using the script above**
2. **Get your bearer token** (from Authelia configuration):
**Get your bearer token:**
- **Docker:** The token is whatever you set as `session.secret` in your `configuration.yml`
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-session-secret-value" http://localhost:8080/api/health
```
- **Bare metal:** Read it from your existing Authelia configuration
```bash
grep -A2 "session:" /opt/authelia/configuration.yml | grep "secret:" | awk '{print $2}'
```
3. **Test the API**:
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/health
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer THAT_VALUE" http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/health
```
