Hey! I have a VPS with 4GB and noticed that authentik, my identity provider is eating up a big chunk of it (1.2GiB on average) limiting how many services I can run on my server. I've been considering migrating to a more lightweight identity provider as authentik feels bloated for my use case (I have hardly 5 users and don't need all these enterprise features). I'm mainly looking for an identity provider that:

has good documentation
supports OAuth2
supports user creation through invites/registration links
supports password and 2FA login
lower RAM footprint

What are your recommendations? Thank you!
