Simple authentication for homelab? (eviltoast.org)

What's everyones recommendations for a self-hosted authentication system?

My requirements are basically something lightweight that can handle logins for both regular users and google. I only have 4-5 total users.

So far, I've looked at and tested:

Authentik - Seems okay, but also really slow for some reason. I'm also not a fan of the username on one page, password on the next screen flow
Keycloak - Looks like it might be lighter in resources these days, but definitely complicated to use
LLDAP - I'd be happy to use it for the ldap backend, but it doesn't solve the whole problem
Authelia - No web ui, which is fine, but also doesn't support social logins as far as I can tell. I think it would be my choice if it did support oidc
Zitadel - Sounds promising, but I spent a couple hours troubleshooting it just to get it working. I might go back to it, but I've had the most trouble with it so far and can't even compare the actual config yet

I had to drop it for a few days. I got that at some point though. It's all brand new so I wouldn't know why. Seems a bit rough around the edges so far. I'll try to reindex and attempt again. I really want this to be the product I use since it's a nice AIO solution but we'll see.

Edit:

[~]$ podman run --rm -i -t -v kanidm:/data \
    kanidm/server:latest /sbin/kanidmd reindex -c /data/server.toml
error: unrecognized subcommand 'reindex'

Phew boy. Straight from the docs. Same with the vacuum command.

Looks like the docs need updated to specify the command is kanidm database reindex -c /data/server.toml

And further upon trying to login...

I think I'm gonna have to just nuke it and start fresh but yeah, this is not a great first impression at all.

I mean, it is a bit rough, they’re not at 1.0 yet, also: are you looking at the stable or latest docs? That may be the reason the commands do not match with the docs.

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

I will have to check. Still willing to try again. I'll update if i get it going better on round 2.

Thanks for the hint about the docs. I hadn't thought of that.
