Thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look at some of his videos. I managed to get the un/pw on one page, but haven't done much with webauthn/passwordless stuff yet so that might be useful too.

Thanks! I managed to get user/pass on the same page and it works great with the compatibility mode

That's essentially what I am doing. Everything is on the LAN by default. I have two instances of Traefik. One that runs only on internal VPN ips, and another on remote servers using public ips. So I can choose which services are accessible over lan/vpn or public (routed through a vpn to lan).

That doesn't solve the authentication problem if I want to expose something to the internet though, or even sso inside the lan.

You can change the logon flow to make the username and password on the same page There is a comparability button as well on the login flow that allows bitwarden and other to auto fill correctly.

Thanks for the tips, I found the compatibility button and will try it out. I'm not sure I see how to change the username/password to be on the same page though. Do you have to create a whole new login flow?

Do you have a link for padlock by any chance?

I'm not sure if this is it, but I found a password manager named padloc: https://github.com/padloc/padloc

Did you move to Keycloak, or something else?

[–] johntash@eviltoast.org 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for confirming, I just saw that as well.

I'm going to try some of the other solutions in this thread, but I might still come back to authelia and just ignore my requirement for having social login. I like the idea of sending someone a link and saying "Hey just log in with your google account" instead of having to create an actual user for them, but maybe I can use something else specifically for those cases.

cloudflare access + cloudflare tunnels is a cool solution, and was easy to set up in the past, but I'd rather stick to something completely self-hosted. I'd probably use it for something completely public, but not things that route into my homelab.

Once I'm authenticated, it's actually pretty okay. It goes through the redirections fast enough that I wouldn't notice usually. But the login pages would take several seconds to load for me, and navigating around the admin ui also seemed to take several seconds for each page change. So not extremely slow, but slow enough to notice and get annoyed by it. Admittedly I probably could increase the session duration or something to help with that too.

Canaille looks pretty interesting and simple too, thanks for the link!

Thanks, I'll take a look! It might be helpful even if I use a different idp

Do you have any issues with Authentik being slow? It might be my environment since I haven't done much troubleshooting yet.

 

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
 

Does anyone have recommendations for centralized backup servers that use the server/client model?

My backups are relatively simple in that I use rsync to pull everything from remote machines to a single server and then run restic on that server to back them up and also copy that backup to cloud storage.

I've been looking at some other software again like Bacula/Bareos/UrBackup and wondering if anyone's currently using one of them or something like it that they like?

Ideally I'm looking for a more user-friendly polished interface for managing backups across multiple servers and desktops/laptops. I'm testing Bareos now, but it'll probably not work out since the web ui doesn't allow adding new jobs/volumes/etc.

 

One of the things I don't really want to self host is a mail server, especially for outbound mail. Currently I'm using a Gmail account, but I want to change that.

What do you all use for things like notifications sent through smtp?

I'm leaning towards AWS SES since it's cheap, but I know there are some other options like mailgun and sendgrid.

 

I've been looking for something to replace Trello, mostly for personal use between me and my partner. We both have our own boards as well as a couple shared ones we use for planning trips/etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a kanban/trello-like software?

I've been using Obsidian w/ the obsidian-kanban plugin lately and it is alright, but obviously not as easy to share between two people and more limited compared to some of the features trello has.

Two options I'm trying out now:

  • Planka - seems like it might be alright, but haven't used it enough yet. Trello import option is one-board-at-a-time.
  • Vikunja - extremely slow for some reason and the auto-save feature kept causing me to lose what I typed
