What’s everyones recommendations for a self-hosted authentication system?
My requirements are basically something lightweight that can handle logins for both regular users and google. I only have 4-5 total users.
So far, I’ve looked at and tested:
Authentik - Seems okay, but also really slow for some reason. I’m also not a fan of the username on one page, password on the next screen flow
Keycloak - Looks like it might be lighter in resources these days, but definitely complicated to use
LLDAP - I’d be happy to use it for the ldap backend, but it doesn’t solve the whole problem
Authelia - No web ui, which is fine, but also doesn’t support social logins as far as I can tell. I think it would be my choice if it did support oidc
Zitadel - Sounds promising, but I spent a couple hours troubleshooting it just to get it working. I might go back to it, but I’ve had the most trouble with it so far and can’t even compare the actual config yet
Yep. I’ve got a test instance working with keycloak. Post up the problem you’re having and i can check it against mine. I think all of it was configured via UI on both except there are two changes in the gitea config.INI that allowed that auth and auto created users if they didn’t exist yet.
If you have some error message, it would be easier to identify the issue. Typical problems:
incorrect redirect url
incorrect endpoints on gitea. I haven’t used gitea yet, but keycloak changes their openid configuration endpoint from [your host]/realms/[your realm]/.well-known/openid-configuration/ to [your host]/auth/realms/[your realm]/.well-known/openid-configuration/, and some apps still use the old one. You might be able to correct this by manually entering keycloak endpoint in your oidc settings.

Does that work with gitea? I was able to get it working with Authentik but wasn’t able to get it working on Keycloak.
