Ceph: A Journey to 1 TiB/s
I have some experience with Ceph, both for work, and with homelab-y stuff.
First, bear in mind that Ceph is a distributed storage system - so the idea is that you will have multiple nodes.
For learning, you can definitely virtualise it all on a single box - but you'll have a better time with discrete physical machines.
Also, Ceph does prefer physical access to disks (similar to ZFS).
And you do need decent networking connectivity - I think that's the main thing people think of, when they think of high hardware requirements for Ceph. Ideally 10Gbe at the minimum - although more if you want higher performance - there can be a lot of network traffic, particularly with things like backfill. (25Gbps if you can find that gear cheap for homelab - 50Gbps is a technological dead-end. 100Gbps works well).
But honestly, for a homelab, a cheap mini PC or NUC with 10Gbe will work fine, and you should get acceptable performance, and it'll be good for learning.
You can install Ceph directly on bare-metal, or if you want to do the homelab k8s route, you can use Rook (https://rook.io/).
Hope this helps, and good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Running stateful workloads on Kubernetes with Rook Ceph
Another option is to leverage a Kubernetes-native distributed storage solution such as Rook Ceph as the storage backend for stateful components running on Kubernetes. This has the benefit of simplifying application configuration while addressing business requirements for data backup and recovery such as the ability to take volume snapshots at a regular interval and perform application-level data recovery in case of a disaster.

People who run Nextcloud in Docker: Where do you store your data/files? In a Docker volume, or on a remote server/NAS?
This is beyond your question but might help someone else: I switch from docker-compose to kubernetes for my home lab a while ago. The storage solution I've settled on is Rook. It was a bit of up-front work learning how to get it up but now that it's done my storage is automatically managed by Ceph. I can swap out drives and Ceph basically takes care of everything itself.

Rook/Ceph with VM nodes on research cluster?
The stumbling point I am at is I want to use rook.io(Ceph) as my storage solution for the cluster. The Ceph prerequisites are one of the following:

Want advice on planned evolution: k3os/Longhorn --> Talos/Ceph, plus Consul and Vault
I've briefly run ceph in an external mode, you can actually use a rook deployment to manage it (sort of). Here is the documentation for doing that. For me it didn't pass my testing phase because I need better networking equipment before I can try that.

ATARI is still alive: Atari Partition of Fear
This article explains the data corruption issue happened in Rook in 2021. The root cause lies in an unexpected place and can also occurs in all Ceph environment. It's interesting that Rook had started to encounter this problem recently even though this problem has existed for a long time. It's due to a series of coincidences. I wrote this article because the word "Atari" used in a non-historical context in 2021.

My completely automated Homelab featuring Kubernetes
I've dealt with a lot of issues that are very close to just unplugging a node. Unfortunately on node lost, my stateful workloads using rook-ceph block storage won't migrate over to another node automatically due to an issue with rook. Stateless apps (ingress nginx, etc..) not using rook-ceph block failover to another node just fine. I've kind of accepted this for now and I know Longhorn has a feature that makes this work but I find rook-ceph to be more stable for my workloads.

Securing Vue Apps with Keycloak
In this article we'll be using Keycloak to secure a Vue.js Web application. We're going to leverage oidc-client-ts to integrate OIDC authentication with the Vue app. The oidc-client-ts package is a well-maintained and used library. It provides a lot of utilities for building out a fully production app.

Top 6 Open Source Identity and Access Management (IAM) Solutions For Enterprises
KeyCloak is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project that offers enterprise IAM solutions. Keycloak emphasizes proficient enterprise authorization solutions by providing:

Outline only uses SSO for authentication. The solution when self hosting is use a private keycloak server [1]. This allows you to do email based auth.

What Is OIDC?
> Don't outsource either your authentication or authorization. Run it in-house.
This is hard to do, though. I hope people here will drop a lot of combinations that work for them!
Personally, for a small/medium scale project, I went with:
Keycloak: https://www.keycloak.org/
It supports various backing RDBMSes (like PostgreSQL, MariaDB/MySQL and others), allows both users that you persist in your own DB, as well as various external sources, like social login across various platforms, is an absolute pain to configure and sometimes acts in stupid ways behind a reverse proxy, but has most of the features that you might ever want, which sadly comes coupled with some complexity and an enterprise feeling.
I quite like that it offers the login/registration views that you need with redirects, as well as user management, storing roles/permissions and other custom attributes. It's on par with what you'd expect and should serve you nicely.
mod_auth_openidc: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc
This one's a certified OpenID Connect Relying Party implementation for... Apache2/httpd.
Some might worry about the performance and there are other options out there (like a module for OpenResty, which is built on top of Nginx), but when coupled with mod_md Apache makes for a great reverse proxy/ingress for my personal needs.
The benefit here is that I don't need 10 different implementations for each service/back end language that's used, I can outsource the heavy lifting to mod_auth_openidc (protected paths, needed roles/permissions, redirect URLs, token renewal and other things) and just read a few trusted headers behind the reverse proxy if further checks are needed, which is easy in all technologies.
That said, the configuration there is also hard and annoying to do, as is working with OpenID Connect in general, even though you can kind of understand why that complexity is inherent. Here's a link with some certified implementations, by the way: https://openid.net/developers/certified-openid-connect-imple...

Auth0 increases price by 300%
You couldn't pay me to use their bullshit...if you need an identity server/provider go with Keycloak. Open source, free, and standards based, works better and scales better too.
