    Nebula is great - super simple to set up and get started if you have a VM to use as a lighthouse. Lots of cloud providers free tiers are have enough resources to host a lighthouse as well.

    Certificate management is its one weakness at the moment. There are a growing number of projects floating around attempting to solve that though:

    As other have suggested, Nebula (https://github.com/slackhq/nebula) is pretty elegant. It has groups-based access built in which is extremely convenient.

    You can bolt-on SSO fairly easily - just create a certificate signing service. I created https://github.com/unreality/nebula-mesh-admin in a weekend, so its fairly easy to add a SSO flow in.
