You could use just a simple Apache (or even some simpler static file server) with no authentication what so ever, but only accessible to your own network. Then, add a Reverse Proxy Gateway such as Traefik, Caddy or whatever else, and add Authentik as a Middleware. User heads to the site (I.e.: files.yourdomain.ext), Reverse Proxy Gateway bounces the request to the Middleware (I.e. Authentik), requires the SSO via whatever authority you’ve got setup, gets bounced back, and then your Reverse Proxy Gateway serves up the static content via the internal network without authentication (i.e.: 172.16.10.3).

Check out Forward Auth section of Authentik docs here: goauthentik.io/docs/providers/proxy/forward_auth
