I was in exactly your position a couple of months ago and have just got my first apps running this week!
Im a web developer so had a bit of experience with containers, cli and linux but only basic web related stuff.
Ill detail my journey and then let others tell you how wrong I am.
I bought a thinkcenter m715q for $200ish which was suggested as a good budget starting machine. There's lots of info about this on https://reddit.com/r/homelab , https://reddit.com/r/selfhosted and https://www.servethehome.com
I installed ubuntu and had a play around but then decided proxmox seemed like the way to go for what I wanted to so. So I watched a range of youtubers

Authentik reverse proxy vs swag
3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 7 Jul 2023

BTW also keycloak and other similar products offer the oauth-proxy capability, I even used the original oauth2-proxy https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy for a while, but it was getting too difficult to maintain for me. I used for a while https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth that was a smart hack configuring a single upstream provider, but it look abandoned. So I was considering authentik but apparently it's just oauth2-proxy embedded in it, at that point why not use oauth2-proxy directly.

Traefik Forward Auth
Assuming I have each individual service working (cloudflare-tunnel, keycloak, nginx, arrs, dashy), how would I go about having a system like this? (more in comments)

One way I got this to work (for another app that doesn’t go through cloudflare) was to use Traefik with forward-auth and this: https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth

In front of all of my private dashboards, I use Traefik Forward Auth to limit who can access them.
Is there something like Keycloak or Authelia that supports both forward auth and identity providers?

Hm, interesting. I have worked with traefik-forward-auth before, but I didn't know there is a fork. Are you using the fork? Would you happen to know if this issue from the original project still exists or if it's fixed in the fork?
How do you expose some of your services to the internet?
