What auth apps do you use ive seen authelia, authentik, keycloack but whats overall the best
I personally run authelia. I prefer the config file over a gui where i have to click everything together. For the actual user storage i got lldap.
But my requirements a possibly different to yours, my main focus was no docker and no javascript backend.
Keycloak is definetly overkill for a homelab. Both in effort to get it to run, and maintaining it.
Yep switched to aegis a year ago. Works great.
Authentik is great, super versatile, if not a bit of effort to get it set up initially
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!
Using VoidAuth here, really good software and documentation. Thanks for that piece of freedom !
I did try it out and its great! One issue i had is after logging in it says not found however
Any plans to support FreeBSD in the future? Or mainly focusing on a docker solution?
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.
Voidauth looks intresting. Thanks!
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 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
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.
