What auth apps do you use ive seen authelia, authentik, keycloack but whats overall the best
I ended up at PocketID. Authentik (and I think authelia too) is good but way more complicated than what I needed for a homelab. A lot of people like VoidAuth, but i didn’t care for the visual style. Don’t think I ever tried keycloak.
my mates and i are also hosting pocketID. it’s solid stuff
Voidauth looks intresting. Thanks!
Same. I tried a few other options from F-Droid/Droidify and Aegis was the easiest for me.
I think OP means server side auth apps
Yep switched to aegis a year ago. Works great.
Developer of VoidAuth here; if you decide to give it a try let me know if you run into any issues during setup, or have any feedback!
I did try it out and its great! One issue i had is after logging in it says not found however
I have been loving it so far and got immich and going to add others and under it soon.
Using VoidAuth here, really good software and documentation. Thanks for that piece of freedom !
Any plans to support FreeBSD in the future? Or mainly focusing on a docker solution?
Its really stange seeing kanidm basically never mentioned in these types of threads dispite how perfect it is for selfhosting: great documentation, incredibly easy to get setup, easy to make a custom themed/setup auth page, lets users name themselves how they prefer instead of requiring “firstname lastname” (why does every service need a lastname when it never gets used?)
Authelia and authentik are cool but are way more complex then you need for authenticating a couple services and for me at least feel “bloated” for my usecase
Authentik is great, super versatile, if not a bit of effort to get it set up initially
I used authentik first as it was suggested by a friend with whom we are sharing the vps, and so I kept using that also for another personal vps.
It is a good combination of robustness and flexibility for me, plus we needed a user dashboard or at least a list of apps. Custom workflows, blueprints and stuff were a bit of a pain to understand, so I just copy them between the two install I have because I keep forgetting how everything works. It’s also quite resource-heavy, so I might try something different in the future.
I love authentik
Now it needs no middleware. Just authentik and postgres
The ui is great, features are great, great api. Super easy to self host and manage
Open source, small dedicated team. Can’t ask for more
Authentik
The best is pretty subjective and partially relies on what you need.
Keycloak is one of the most feature complete ones I think.
I’ve used authelia before and liked it, but it had a very bare UI and everything was done through config files which forced redeploys on changes. It wasn’t ideal for me.
I’m currently trying out voidauth. It’s got some more Ui features compared to authelia and can apparently also simulate some Active Directory queries to forward your users to third party tools for provisioning ( unless I saw that wrong, I haven’t tested any yet ).
Authentik looked nice, but I haven’t gotten around to checking that one out yet.
I use Stratum on android and GNOME Authenticator on Linux desktop
The one built in to Caddy for anything that doesn’t really have authentication. Everything else uses its own and i only have a couple services accessible outside the home.
Most everything is only accessible within my home and my guest wifi is on its own vLAN. Even then I’m the only person who actually uses most things that I setup.
