I've just looked at some tutorials for Keycloak and Authentik and there's definitely a very steep learning curve for these two solutions. I feel like I need something a lot simpler to be able to fully grasp the concept.

What is the easiest solution for beginners to implement Sigle-Sign-On for their selfhosted services?

If they can use their phones to log in with passkeys this might just work, hmm. I'll definitely take a closer look at that then. Thank you!

Edit:
That's very unfortunate as my users will basically only use the Android or Android TV app and not a browser. Maybe it's not too bad if it is a one time thing, but it definitely makes it not ideal.

Jellyfin is actually the only self hosted service I don't use LDAP or OIDC on purpose. Jellyfin is used only by me, my wife and sometimes a guest. So I just created the accounts by hand. I did so, because I want empty passwords there, so we can easily login. On the android tv app the login screen behaves like the Netflix profile selection screen, if the passwords are empty.
