I have a lot of different services which I self host for me and my family like:

  • PeerTube
  • Lemmy
  • Mastodon
  • Synology NAS
  • TTRSS
  • NextCloud
  • Matrix
  • HomeAssistant
  • etc.

Right now every family member needs to create a user on each of those services and have a different password on them, which is OK when you use a Password Manager, but most of my extended family members don’t. And they often forget their password and stop using the service because they can’t figure out how to reset the password with each and every service.

I would like to try to consolidate all of it with a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution but It’s not obvious to me if there is one which is not overly over engineered for hundreds of thousands of users but small and lightweight, perhaps even easy to set up.

I tried OpenLDAP but Jesus that was very involved.

    Might not be quite what you want, but if you just need to block all access to everything unless logged in, then integrating a hosted SSO into your ingress is a simple, low management option.

    I’ve been using an old trafeik setup with Google’s SSO, whitelisting certain accounts, and had no problems with it for years.
