-        TCP port authelia serves its Prometheus metrics on, bound to
-        loopback. Upstream's default, kept so an operator reading
-        authelia's documentation finds what they expect.
-
-        A separate port from {option}`port` because it is a separate
-        listener with a different audience: the main one is proxied by
-        the gateway and reachable from the swarm, this one is scraped by
-        the collector on this host and by nothing else.
-
-        ⚠️ Every swarm container shares the host network namespace, so
-        two services defaulting to the same port do not conflict at build
-        time — one simply loses at runtime, with nothing in any log. Check
-        a new value against the others before changing this.

-        ::: {.note}
-        Loopback means this endpoint is only reachable by a collector on
-        the *same host*, so the scrape target is declared only when one is
-        enabled here. Run the swarm's collector elsewhere and authelia's
-        metrics are simply not collected — no error, and nothing in a log
-        to say so. Making them reachable across hosts is a different piece
-        of work: the endpoint would have to be published under a name,
-        with a certificate and an audience.
