    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.

    I personally run authelia. I prefer the config file over a gui where i have to click together all the config. For the actual user storage i got lldap. But my requirements a pro 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.

    Kanidm It has a modest UI for end-users to handle self-service scenarios, and an app portal for OpenID Connect configured applications. The backend is fully CLI based. It is very robust and performant, built on Rust. Yet very much in active development, so do not expect full parity with commercial alternatives at a feature level. I run it to provision users for my home Linux devices and it supports offline login, my Homelab servers, and my self-hosted web applications through OIDC. A nice ‘one stop shop’ for my purposes.

    There is no “overall best”, just one that works best for you. I like to keep mine on a managed encrypted server so I use Ente Auth. I think Proton has one as well.

    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.

    Authentik is great, super versatile, if not a bit of effort to get it set up initially

  • I use my Nextcloud instance as a OIDC provider for all my other apps.
