I host wakapi behind a reverse proxy that uses Authelia for SSO. It would be great if wakapi supported trusted headers to automatically login.

An example project that supports this is Navidrome. When it sees the header Remote-User and the proxy's IP is whitelisted, the user is auto logged in and if the user doesn't exist, it is automatically created.

Very interesting concept! I'll add support for this type of authentication to Wakapi. But I will refrain from implementing automated user creation, if you don't mind - it would require too many changes for little added value imo.
