Finally switched from plex to jellyfin, seems to be ok so far. Needed to make some small scripts for metadata management but it's running smoothly. Finally decided I'm hosting enough software with user accounts that I've made an authentik instance for SSO with each (ofc jellyfin first)

Ann reason you choose authenik? There are a nmber of options and I'm not sure why to choose one over the other.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but Authentik:

Has a UI for configuring it, including adding users.
Supports LDAP if you need it. Authelia needs a separate LDAP server.
Supports practically every two factor auth protocol you'd need: OIDC (OpenID Connect), OAuth2, SCIM, SAML, RADIUS, LDAP, and proxying for apps that don't support any of them (which is getting rarer).
Supports permissions and permission groups, i.e. only allow certain users to access particular apps.
Can be used as the source of truth for Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra. Maybe not as relevant for home use.

I haven't tried Keycloak but I hear it's pretty good, albeit a heavier app to deploy.

I have tried Authelia, and it's much less powerful than Authentik. Authelia requires you to manually modify config files rather than using a web UI. It also only supports OIDC (which is in beta) and proxying. Proxying is not recommended and has several issues since it's not "true" single sign-on.

Keycloak is very much lighter actually. Can run under half a gig ram whereas authentik uses about 1GB.

Authelia is king though in running with just about 30MB of ram.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

That's interesting... It used to be a lot heavier.

Authelia is definitely the lightest in terms of RAM, but it's also the lightest in terms of features. As far as I can remember, they only added OIDC support fairly recently - previously it only supported proxying.

I'm considering Keycloak myself because it's trusted by security professionals (I think it's a RedHat project), whereas Authentik is basically a passion project.
