Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx
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've been eyeing authentik[1] and authelia[2].
Authelia looks really good to me, but the fact that keycloak has connectors for angular and you need to setup oidc angular plugins with authelia for example made me a little bit wary. But I guess having a config for Keycloak makes it's easier to get started.
> My only concern is that Authelia hasn't had a new release for more than a year, which raises security concerns.
I'm a bit concerned about that too. When setting it up, I found a lot of their docs on github mentioned they have `template` and `expand-env` "configuration filters", then it took me entirely too long to realize that while the 4.38 pre-release notes, posted in January 2023, say it's "just around the corner", it's still being worked on.
Having said that, there still seems to be somewhat active development. It may just be one person at this point.

That's not a new release of authelia. Authelia's releases are at https://github.com/authelia/authelia/releases
The updates to the AUR package were not about new releases since 2022:

Keycloak – Open-Source Identity and Access Management Interview
We used keycloak for openid identity provider as well. It is fine to setup keycloak once. But it is painful share the setup with other engineers.
For local development, we end up using dex (https://dexidp.io). When we need support group/role, we use dex and glauth(https://glauth.github.io). Both dex and glauth can be configured with yaml files. We just created a few yaml files and a docker compose file, every engineer can be brought up the whole environment in a few seconds.
Also https://www.authelia.com and https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik look pretty promising, if you need more advanced features from them.

Authelia/SSO With Caddy In Docker Compose?
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?

Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx
Recently I looked into having a relatively simple SSO setup for my homelab. My main objective is that I could easily login with Google or GitHub auth. At my previous job I used both JetBrains Hub [1] and Keycloak but I found both of them a bit of a PITA to setup.
JetBrains Hub was really, really easy to get going. As was my previous experience with them. The only thing that annoyed me was the lack of a latest tag on their Docker registry. Don't get me wrong, pinned versions are great, but for my personal use I mostly just want to update all my Docker containers in one go.
On the other hand I found Keycloak very cumbersome to get going. It was pretty easy in dev mode, but I stumbled to get it going in production. AFAIK it had something to do with the wildcard Let's Encrypt cert that I tried to use. But after a couple of hours, I just gave up.
I finally went with Dex [2]. I had previously put it off because of the lack of documentation, but in the end it was extremely easy to setup. It just required some basic YAML, a SQLite database and a (sub)domain. I combined Dex with the excellent OAuth2 Proxy and a custom Nginx (Proxy Manager) template for an easy two line SSO configuration on all of my internal services.
In addition to this setup, I also added Cloudflare Access and WAF outside of my home to add some security. I only want to add some CrowdSec to get a little more insights.

Multi client authentication with auth0 and oauth2-proxy
Authentication providers like Auth0 and Okta have become commonplace in software development. These providers help take this work off of your plate, and this can be made even easier by using a reverse proxy that provides authentication capabilities, like oauth2-proxy.

Moving from Google workspace to Microsoft 365 and implementing Zero Trust
That is not how you do Zero Trust. You want to use an Identity Aware Proxy. There are lots of ways you can implement this with Google as your core auth. For example Pomerium or oauth2-proxy.

Microsoft launches Windows App for accessing PCs in the cloud from any device
I use self-hosted Apache Guacamole (RDP) through a reverse proxy with Google SSO (oauth2-proxy[0]). So easy to access my desktop from virtually any browser (mobile isn't the best though). This would be a good solution for gaming, but for other activities RDP is unbeatable imo.

Meet https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/oauth2-proxy/ It could be deployed in the cluster somewhere and reuse it where needed. We do this to authenticate prometheus,alertmanager ui for useres

Authentik reverse proxy vs swag
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.

How to build Auth in 2023 with go?
Like auth basic? Mate, its 2023 get that RestAPI endpoint behind an OAuth proxy. github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy is a good one on a budget or use some cloud provider's ApiGateway and IAM services.
-
Pomerium or Authentik?
A final option would be oauth2-proxy which I also tried out in the past. It was pretty easy to get going, but also quite barebones. However maybe that would be fine for my usecase. Still something to investigate.
I use it in combination with oauth2-proxy, which sits in front of my network and the various services I host. https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy

Is it possible to password protected reverse proxy?
Under the hood Authentik just uses https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy. The preconfigured proxy is convenient but if you already have a SSO provider you don't need to switch.
What are some alternatives?
authentik - The authentication glue you need.
Keycloak - Open Source Identity and Access Management For Modern Applications and Services
traefik-forward-auth - Minimal forward authentication service that provides Google/OpenID oauth based login and authentication for the traefik reverse proxy
vouch-proxy - an SSO and OAuth / OIDC login solution for Nginx using the auth_request module
oauth2 - Go OAuth2
Nginx Proxy Manager - Docker container for managing Nginx proxy hosts with a simple, powerful interface
dex - OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity and OAuth 2.0 provider with pluggable connectors
caddy-auth-portal - Authentication Plugin for Caddy v2 implementing Form-Based, Basic, Local, LDAP, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0 (Github, Google, Facebook, Okta, etc.), SAML Authentication. MFA with App Authenticators and Yubico.
Docusaurus - Easy to maintain open source documentation websites.
Portainer - Making Docker and Kubernetes management easy.
Pomerium - Pomerium is an identity and context-aware reverse proxy for zero-trust access to web applications and services.
