OpenAI uses open source Ory to authenticate over 400M weekly active users
From what I can tell, Ory is a high quality stack capable of scaling up.
If you're looking for something a bit simpler to work with for indiehosting purposes, I maintain a list here:

Auth Wiki
I'm sensing a shift in the auth space. This is my very rough impression:
~20 years ago everyone rolled their own auth.
~15 years ago libraries like Passport cropping up and gaining in popularity. I would guess this is when people started preaching "don't roll your own auth".
~10 years ago OAuth2/OpenID Connect became popular for UX reasons but only for centralized social login providers
~5 years ago Auth0/Okta was all the rage, though this is likely an HN ecochamber and maybe limited to enterprise.
The last few years it seems like self hosting is getting more popular, perhaps due to increased quality in open source offerings (Zitadel, Ory stack, many others[0]).
And very recently[1] there's been some excellent resources like OP focused more on teaching you how to roll your own again, incorporating the security lessons of the past couple decades.

JIT WireGuard
The deployment experience is awesome, but for me[0] the killer feature of Fly.io is their Anycast network and features such as FLY_REPLAY and LiteFS that make clusering a breeze[1].
[0]: using them for https://lastlogin.io
[1]: Here's all the fly-specific code necessary to run LastLogin in a globally distributed way: https://github.com/lastlogin-io/obligator/blob/37f75cc861f1b...

Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx
I use obligator with ephemeral storage, no db, 100% code driven setup.
In my opinion this is the simplist option.

Show HN: Obligator – An OpenID Connect server for self-hosters
Sorry, this is indeed not very clear. Others already answered well, but if you look at the example[0] config you can see how you would use your own instance of obligator as a client to the instance running at lastlogin.io. This is a bit meta, but applies equally to any client application.
