docker-fusiondirectory VS vouch-proxy

I built a couple Docker images around OpenLDAP and also a front end that can allow for management of resources easier.

I have docker images for the following: Fusion Directory - A web based LDAP front end for user/group management OpenLDAP w/FusionDirectory Schemas - The Backend LDAP server that can be communicated to via your applications and also The front end above. LemnonLDAP:NG - Portal of Applications, OIDC, SAML, 2FA (TOTP and Yukikey) and Headers authentication powerhouse. Ties into the above quite nicely along with password resets, password policies, etc.

Look into vouch proxy

Vouch proxy is designed for this usage: https://github.com/vouch/vouch-proxy I don't think there are any nice UIs to configure it though so you'll need to be familiar with running it yourself.

Not sure this is a "best practice", but it lets me keep control of the Ingress resources inside their YAML configs. I've also layered Vouch Proxy into the ingress configurations to require SSO/MFA auth to access the resources behind the Ingress. Cloudflare has the ability to do this, but I found it cumbersome to keep track of the configs outside the K8s cluster.

I've used vouch proxy for my own stuff previously, before more recently moving to Cloudflare Access. vouch can be slightly janky at times to get working right, but once set up, it's been solid.

For example: nginx -> Vouch proxy -> KeyCloak -> Jellyfin

While this works, we were hoping to make access a bit easier with say an OpenID Connect SSO and reverse-proxy solution. I've seen Vouch Proxy, https://github.com/vouch/vouch-proxy which is really just SSO on top of nginx, but I'm wondering if there's a simpler way to do this.

You seem to be quite knowledgeable and a minimal provider with just the bare minimum would suffice for you. Have a look at Vouch Proxy, it does one thing and it does it well.
