    You can try VoidAuth, it is kinda similar to Authelia+lldap. I am the developer and I created it because I wasn’t satisfied with Authelia’s user management. If you decide you want to try it and run into any issues or questions I will try to help 🙂

      I'm currently using Authelia to authenticate for some of my self hosted services. It works fine, but the limited user backends (ldap or... yaml??) make me want to look for an alternative.

      Authentik seems good, but after looking at their website I get the feeling of imminent enshitification, where they're going to either pull the rug on the open source version, or basically gatekeep essential features behind an enterprise license.

      So, for those using Authentik, how has your experience been so far?

      I am using authelia as well for some time. At some point I was looking into kanidm. It looked promising, but never got into actually using it. I never figured out though, whether they support forward header auth.

        Take this with a grain of salt because I haven't started using this yet, but I am planning on using pocket id on my personal server

        https://github.com/pocket-id/pocket-id

        Seems to do what I want it to do

          On paper I should love Authelia, I'm a sucker for y'all configured services, I can write a couple of files on my Ansible and boom, everything works... However I never had much luck setting Authelia up, Authentik on the other hand was very painless (albeit) manual (via UI) configuration. I don't do anything crazy, so any of them would work for me though, I just failed on setting Authelia and tried Authentik and had had no reason to change.

            Authentik can be configured through terraform

              I do not consider Authelia secure from an architecture point of view.

              That is because there is, by design, no authentication between authelia and the backend. That means that if anyone ever manages to directly access the backend services, they can impersonate anyone, including admin.

                How about zitadel as an option?
