Show HN: Blueprint for a distributed multi-region IAM with Go and CockroachDB
I think it would be fair to say that kratos was not the priority in 2022 in terms of code you can see not much was commited (https://github.com/ory/kratos/graphs/code-frequency) so I might have had a bad first impression.
A few issues on kratos that I consider relatively important are still missing / nobody from Ory is giving their input so it's hard to make progress and I would not take my time to contribute if I dont know if the owner are going to merge it.
An example that comes to mind is the OAuth email auto-verification or the search of users that is still super basic (we only recently got the filter of identifiers).

What auth do you use? Why?
IMO it's almost always good to offer some OIDC social login, just depends what provider your users use.

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.

Sign in with GitHub in Go
Another great option is to use https://github.com/dexidp/dex in an authentication setup. In your app, you federate the authentication to dex using OAuth2. Dex then has a pluggable architecture with built-in connectors for many established identity providers using a variety of protocols: Among others OAuth2, SAML 2 but also GitHub, Google, Gitea and so forth.

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.
