Authentik is an open-source identity provider you can host yourself.

It lets you use a single login across your self-hosted services, with support for OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, LDAP, and more.

Useful for managing access to apps like Jellyfin, Immich, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, and other self-hosted tools.

Authentik is really feature rich, supporting the most out of any other provider.

The 3 killer features to me from authentik are:

  • OIDC
  • LDAP
  • Invites

Of course there are more. But software that does all 3 of those is rare, and I was frustrated trying to find them.

To play devil's advocate, Authentik is very big and unwieldy in some ways. If you only need OIDC for your family, then maybe pocket id or void auth may be more suitable.
