authelia VS authentik

It's me and two others though I'm definitely the most active. We put a lot of effort into security best practices and one of my co-developers is currently reviewing the 4.38.0 release. It's a fairly major release with a lot of important code paths that have been improved for the future.

Our official docs can be found at https://www.authelia.com and you can find docs for a particular PR in the relevant PR. We've also linked the pre-release docs in the pre-release discussions which can be found here: https://github.com/authelia/authelia/discussions/categories/...

I use NGINX proxy with Authelia in between. Authelia blocks and blacklists faulty logins.

If you are using HAProxy on PfSense/OPNSense, see my issue https://github.com/authelia/authelia/issues/2696

https://github.com/lldap/lldap is a very simple and lightweight LDAP solution. Works flawless with https://www.authelia.com/

Ah yeah, so I guess it's been a while since I tried and I forgot where I got stuck last time. Authelia's config.yml is absolutely massive and I'm not sure which section of their guide I should be following. In The Docker Compose section, there's "Unbundled", "Lite", and "Local". I think I want to be running the "lite" bundle, but their example compose file has a ton of Traefik stuff in it. I know I wouldn't keep the Traefik services, but do I need either secure or public?

Authelia supports SSO. If you are behind a reverse proxy it’s quite straightforward to integrate.

This should probably also be mentioned in the documentation so maybe consider mentioning this on their discussion page.

If you're looking for a system that has more features, is user friendly, a nice admin ui and easy deployments compared to Keycloak. Please give https://goauthentik.io/ a shot. Not affiliated in any way, just a very happy user.

It has

-an admin UI

- Supports (LDAP, SAML, OAUTH, social logins)

- MFA, Passkeys

- Application access based on user groups etc

Hey, for authentik this is actually something we're actively working on: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/pull/8330, and this will be included in our next feature release in April!

See here for the fix, which both implements the workaround suggested in the issue and also a much more standard-compliant method: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/pull/8471

I've been searching around for a while now, and struggling with getting Authentik setup on my NAS. I'd like to deploy via Portainer, but getting lost in the documentation just to deploy.

Personally I went with Keycloak, because it's fairly well documented and also has Docker images available: https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-doc... although the fact that they want you to create an "optimized" image yourself and have a long build/setup process on startup instead is slightly annoying: https://www.keycloak.org/server/containers

Regardless, with something like mod_auth_openidc or another Relying Party implementation, all of the sudden authn/authz becomes easier to manage (you can literally get user information including roles in headers that are passed from your gateway/relying party to apps behind the reverse proxy), regardless of what you have actually running in your APIs: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc (there are other options, of course, but I went with that because I already use mod_md).

It's actually cool that there are plentiful options in the space, since OIDC is pretty complex in of itself and attempts at creating something pleasant to actually use are always welcome, I've also heard good things about Authentik: https://goauthentik.io/

Hello ! I am hosting a server under NixOS with multiple services, and to simply the identity management, I use authentik (https://goauthentik.io/) which can be compared to keycloak. Everything works fine until I try to enable mastodon to host an instance : authentik returns an error 400 and nothing changes this but disabling mastodon. Does anyone have an idea of what could be the cause of this ?

For Authentik, it looks like they are not interested to write how to configure HAProxy with it https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/issues/5768
