S.S.Octopus VS zitadel

2. An identity aware SSO proxy by Buzzfeed[0]

I really like Buzzfeed's SSO implementation, but it hasn't received updates in a while and doesn't seem to be maintained to me. I could absolutely see OpenZiti replacing this for me.

I really like Wireguard and have absolutely no complaints with it -- but if OpenZiti could replace this as well and match the performance I get on Wireguard I would consider implementing it at home (and would probably be a happy enough customer to push for it at work).

One non-typical use-case I use Wireguard for is being able to do remote game streaming to my Windows hosts via Moonlight+Nvidia Gamestream. Would anyone be able to (anecdotally or scientifically), share how well a use-case like this would work with OpenZiti?

In addition to this suggestion, another viable route is to self-host those applications you rely on and don't expose them to the world (so as to reduce load/attack surface). Using a VPN can allow you to access the applications privately/remotely.

e.g. I self-host the applications I rely on such as Teddit, Nitter, Bibliogram and Cloudtube and then use Wireguard to always remain connected to the network they are accessible on. I have also implemented identity-aware SSO[1] so I can expose those applications remotely to specific individuals.

If oauth2-proxy doesn't suit your needs, there are some projects that have spun-off from oauth2-proxy like pomerium and BuzzFeed's sso. In addition to the open source library, Pomerium offers a paid service with a GUI to help IT staff more easily manage user permissions. BuzzFeed's sso builds upon oauth2-proxy by separating the domain used for auth from the domain used for the proxy (among several other changes).

SSO to the rescue!

Im one of the authors of ZITADEL the open source identity and access management solution.

An other Keycloak alternative would be our (I am one of the founders) project ZITADEL.

You could take a look at https://zitadel.ch/ Or curity https://curity.io/product/

I'm biased since I work for ZITADEL (https://github.com/caos/zitadel). Passwordless with FIDO2 has been baked in since the beginning. I reckon that the major Open Source alternatives provide support as well. FIDO2 should work on all major OS and browsers.

And a bigger project i know is zitadel (https://github.com/caos/zitadel)

Full disclosure: My company is building ZITADEL, an open source alternative for Auth0 or Keycloak (both still very good, with some drawbacks). https://github.com/caos/zitadel/

We are building a cloud-native IAM over here https://github.com/caos/zitadel

It is written in Go and built around event sourcing for a great audit trail. We already support OIDC, Passwordless, RBAC and working on more features each day.

For those who want to run it on-prem we have a kubernetes operator ready in the next few weeks who also manages the database (cockroach).

We run our own service here https://zitadel.ch with a free tier as well

Feel free to engage with us on GitHub discussions.

I'm not sure if it makes sense to build your own oauth/oidc server. It's fun to learn all these techniques but you have to maintain much more code. You also have to implement security mechanisms from dev and ops perspectives. There are existing implementations. If you want to check out an existing open source implementation in go you could take a look at the implementaion of my company called zitadel. I would love to answer question if there are any.
