ziti VS vouch-proxy

If you are not aware of what OpenZiti is, this is the description available on their website:

fwiw, its back up. stars for zrok and ziti (i.e., the parent repo) are super appreciated!

https://github.com/openziti/ziti (1.2k stars)

Create an AUR package for the ziti binaries

I ask because I'm going to start with the simplified-docker-compose.yml file instead of the more complicated one for starters

OpenZiti is the most sophisticated and simple-to-use ZTNA platform on the planet. Allows you to create micro-segmented ZTNA networks by desktop application, web application, device, containers, API, and servers. All data is distributed dynamically across an overlay mesh network focused on routing performance, self-healing, and latency. It has desktop clients on all operating systems, pre-built SSH consoles, and SDKs in different languages to integrate OpenZiti into any product natively. And best of all, it's Open-Source. Seriously, try it, you'll be mind-blowing...

This repo hosts the OpenZiti SDK for NodeJS, and is designed to help you deliver secure applications over a OpenZiti Network - https://github.com/openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs.

zrok.io seems fit for this purpose though you'd have to do a little work like combining it with FileGator or similar. Future releases would add this functionality directly, you could just watch the project. It is fundamentally designed for web app & webhook testing. It's built on top of a zero-trust networking overlay technology called openziti.io. There are developer discourse channels to help.

Look into vouch proxy

Vouch proxy is designed for this usage: https://github.com/vouch/vouch-proxy I don't think there are any nice UIs to configure it though so you'll need to be familiar with running it yourself.

Not sure this is a "best practice", but it lets me keep control of the Ingress resources inside their YAML configs. I've also layered Vouch Proxy into the ingress configurations to require SSO/MFA auth to access the resources behind the Ingress. Cloudflare has the ability to do this, but I found it cumbersome to keep track of the configs outside the K8s cluster.

I've used vouch proxy for my own stuff previously, before more recently moving to Cloudflare Access. vouch can be slightly janky at times to get working right, but once set up, it's been solid.

For example: nginx -> Vouch proxy -> KeyCloak -> Jellyfin

While this works, we were hoping to make access a bit easier with say an OpenID Connect SSO and reverse-proxy solution. I've seen Vouch Proxy, https://github.com/vouch/vouch-proxy which is really just SSO on top of nginx, but I'm wondering if there's a simpler way to do this.

You seem to be quite knowledgeable and a minimal provider with just the bare minimum would suffice for you. Have a look at Vouch Proxy, it does one thing and it does it well.
