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 just switched from Authelia to PocketID No good reason. Mainly because Authelia was a bit convoluted and I needed something very basic.
I’m using PocketID as it is super simple to set up. I’ve also paired it with TinyAuth for those services that don’t support SSO.
I also use Swag as my reverse proxy, which just added native support for TinyAuth.
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

Seems to do what I want it to do
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 :)
