authentik reviews and mentions

• Authentik: An open-source Identity Provider

• Authelia and Lldap: Authentication, SSO, User Management[ ] for Home Networks
  3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jul 2024

  While authelia is quite cool "infra-as-code" tool, since you have your entire configuration in yaml form, for those not willing to spend a few evenings configuring SSO, there is authentik [1] which features management UI.

  Offers similar feature set, also self-hostable, but most importantly - simple to set-up. I've spent 8h on authelia deployment, where 30 minutes in authentik would be sufficient. But both are good options, pick what you prefer.

  Authentik Security | Engineer | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Full-time

  Authentik Security (https://goauthentik.io) is the company behind authentik (https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik), an open source identity provider with over 250k+ unique installations and 12M+ downloads. Help us replace Okta/Auth0, Ping Identity, and Microsoft Entra with modern, secure identity for all!

  We are a small remote team, looking to scale up with a couple experienced software engineers, primarily with a backend focus. Bonus points if you have significant experience with identity/SSO standards and/or Django/Python.

  There is also the opportunity to be "forward deployed" spending 15-20% of time with enterprise customers (remotely) on configuration best practices and rollout strategies, _if_ that is of interest to the right candidate.

• Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx

  See here for the fix, which both implements the workaround suggested in the issue and also a much more standard-compliant method: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/pull/8471

• Has anyone had any success setting Authentik up behind Caddy for a reverse proxy?

  Ask in the correct places for support: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/discussions and https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues

• Authentik setup via Portainer?
  1 project | /r/synology | 7 Dec 2023

  I've been searching around for a while now, and struggling with getting Authentik setup on my NAS. I'd like to deploy via Portainer, but getting lost in the documentation just to deploy.

• Show HN: Obligator – An OpenID Connect server for self-hosters

  Personally I went with Keycloak, because it's fairly well documented and also has Docker images available: https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-doc... although the fact that they want you to create an "optimized" image yourself and have a long build/setup process on startup instead is slightly annoying: https://www.keycloak.org/server/containers

  Regardless, with something like mod_auth_openidc or another Relying Party implementation, all of the sudden authn/authz becomes easier to manage (you can literally get user information including roles in headers that are passed from your gateway/relying party to apps behind the reverse proxy), regardless of what you have actually running in your APIs: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc (there are other options, of course, but I went with that because I already use mod_md).

  It's actually cool that there are plentiful options in the space, since OIDC is pretty complex in of itself and attempts at creating something pleasant to actually use are always welcome, I've also heard good things about Authentik: https://goauthentik.io/
