Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
I'm really enjoying reading through the docs and the tutorial. We've created Lowdefy, a config web-stack which makes it really simple to build quite advanced web apps. We're writing everything in YAML, but it has it's limitations, specifically when doing config type checking and IDE extensions that go beyond just YAML.
I've been looking for a way to have typed objects in the config to do config suggestions and type checking.. PKL looks like it can do this for us. And with the JSON output we might even be able to get there with minimal effort.
Is there anyone here with some PKL experience that would be willing to answer some technical questions re the use of PKL for more advanced, nested config?

Show HN: Retool AI
Awsome! With Lowdefy we tried to build a low-code framework that works like code. We’ve developed a schema in which to define applications and we’ve built all kinds of apps for enterprise customers. Massive, advanced CRM systems, call centre solutions, ticketing systems, a light MRP, all kinds of survey apps and so many dashboards. Even our docs and our website are Lowdefy apps!
Give Lowdefy a try and reach out it you have any questions or want to see what is possible :) (We need to invest a lot more into content and examples, bootstapping is a grind!)
Shameless plug, co-founder, have you tried https://lowdefy.com ?

The Surprising Power of Documentation
100% this. And yes, good documentation takes a lot of investment but it pays off like compound interest. But with that done, it becomes even more important not to pull the carpet for no good reason, you are building a tower and documentation is at the foundation.
We’ve built Lowdefy [1] as an open source project and documented it with all effort, 200 pages of docs. I often forget why or how something works and then jump to the docs. This investment keeps on paying of as we use Lowdefy to build customer apps, new devs in the team typically take less than two week to get up to speed and start making contributions, the sharp ones, just a two or three days.
This year, we’re extended our documentation onto customer apps aswell, with flow diagrams, state machine definitions, detailed field level explication schema definitions, and end user test procedures. The key here for this documentation is detail. It should be easier to reach for the docs and the the answer, than to dive in the code and interpret it.

AG Grid Community Roundup July 2022
Lowdefy is a low code tool that uses AG Grid as a block component, allowing you to create apps which render data in AG Grid without a lot of coding knowledge. There is a Lowdefy example using AG Grid here.

Show HN: ToolJet 1.2 OSS Retool alternative with realtime multiplayer editing
I’m also going to jump in here and say try Lowdefy https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy - co-founder here.
We take a different angle and believe that low code should still work like code. We focus on a developer first approach.

Show HN: Auth0 OSS alternative Ory Kratos now with passwordless and SMS support
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!
(Disclaimer, I am founder and CTO of authentik)

Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx
authentik CTO here; we’ll fix this in the next release (match-april), it should be possible in a non backwards incompatible way using the suggestion in this comment https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/issues/6139#issueco... (which does call that solution a hack but I wouldn’t necessarily agree)
For anyone, considering authentik, I want to warn you by saying "here be dragons."
To start, I have protected 10+ services at any given time. Both in docker and k8s. Unless you enjoy configuring protection for each service independently, you'll have a bad time in authentik.
Authentik suffers from a debilitating bug[0] where when using a single config to protect all services on subdomains (i.e. app1.example.com, app2.example.com, etc.) your users will be randomly redirected to a different service when reauthenticating after the session expires.
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.
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

Has anyone had any success setting Authentik up behind Caddy for a reverse proxy?
Ask in the correct places for support: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/discussions and https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues

Show HN: Obligator – An OpenID Connect server for self-hosters
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/
