I would like to make some of my self-hosted services externally accessible. Currently I use a VPN to access stuff externally, however this doesn’t work on all use-cases. I also use Tailscale for some things.
I would love to use cloudflare tunnels and another auth solution (like keycloak) to replace Tailscale and the VPN.
Is this feasible?
My end goal would be to setup Immich for my family, and have them not have to worry about Tailscale, a VPN or anything other than some initial login to keycloak (for example)
I set up Authentik for some of my services and it works.
The setup really threw me off but I powered through learning it. It’s a strange UI and process.
Basically you set it up with Nginx or Caddy or whatever reverse proxy you use. Your reverse proxy points to Authentik and Authentik takes that link and checks for authorization first. If not authorized, prompt login. If authorized, pass on to the subdomain or whatever it is.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

To do all this, you’d need a domain.
I use this for oauth, forward proxy and ldap authentication. All my apps are authenticated via authentik and its great
