A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Anyone use authentik? Seems useful, most of my homelab services are unsecured ATM (just local only/vpn)

I use authentik and I love how easy it is to create users, give them access to my services and even manage an LDAP outpost for the less-advanced services (Jellyfin, Calibre-Web). I heard that Keycloak is a better alternative to authentik, but I never used it, it looks very similar to it though.

Id like to centralize auth but I haven't dug into it yet. My concern is, can it be distributed? I have services spread across my homelab and multiple vpses. I don't want to lose auth if any of those is down.

It seems that Keycloak can sync multiple instances, but I don't know how good of an idea that is. I found something in it's documentation: https://www.keycloak.org/high-availability/introduction
