I'm currently using Authelia to authenticate for some of my self hosted services. It works fine, but the limited user backends (ldap or... yaml??) make me want to look for an alternative.

Authentik seems good, but after looking at their website I get the feeling of imminent enshitification, where they're going to either pull the rug on the open source version, or basically gatekeep essential features behind an enterprise license.

So, for those using Authentik, how has your experience been so far?

You can try VoidAuth, it is kinda similar to Authelia+lldap. I am the developer and I created it because I wasn’t satisfied with Authelia’s user management. If you decide you want to try it and run into any issues or questions I will try to help :)

I like the motivation behind this, but have a allergy to running critical infrastructure like authentication on node.

To each their own, though, and good luck with the project. Diversity is life.
