I started with authelia, but decided I’d rather not fork around with config files all the time ( I didn’t have issues with it though ).

Then I switched to voidauth which has more UI. Works well too, but I find the UI a bit confusing to use. It is a bit atypical in the sense that going back and forward between menus is different and bothers me for some reason.

Currently running that in parallel with pocket. I’m charmed by the simplicity of not having to deal with or worry about passwords. It also has a built in dashboard of apps you can access which removes the need ( for me ) to run something else and keep that up to date.

If only those slams would lead somewhere.

For some reason I have this gut feeling it’ll start getting tied in with age verification. If not initially, definitely eventually.

But how will we know the users are underaged? Please give us more private data so we can comply with this requirement.

But it keeps nothing in sync. You’ll spend your time exporting/importing vcards.

It just feels like a very basic feature missing. There’s an app on fdroid that can do it apparently ( 2way sync), but I am hesitant to log into any app with my credentials that isn’t tied to the provider.

I just wish it could sync contacts to the local address book. It is such a stupid hurdle to throw in front of people trying to de Google …

I also did it with this.

While you can change it afterwards, it might be worthwhile to check a setting in immich on how it organizes the photos on disk you upload.

I changed it to year/month/photo-id because I find it convenient, but it does not organized them like that for backups.

You can change it at a later date and run a job to “fix it”, but it might be worthwhile to set it up correctly from the start ( if this matters to you ). So no harm done if you change your mind later.

I’m on board with this. It sucks and it makes things a lot easier to be able to have SSO.

But I’m also peeved the SSO tax is nearly always in the enterprise tier and never in the first paying tier. Even if you’d want to pay for it, the enterprise cost is usually a multitude in price with features you likely don’t need.

They just know companies have policies that enforce SSO for compliancy reasons and are forced to pay.

But as a self hoster the enterprise tier is even more disgustingly expensive.

But the open source projects we use and love also deserve contributions ( financially ). But as a self hosted there’s also a financial incentive to self host and not take everything as a SaaS ( besides the obvious take control of your data ).

Edit: I mean I agree with the selfh.st statement and yours ( for clarity)

Zen browser is Firefox based and is okay. Floorp was also okay when I used it.

Haven’t used stock Firefox for a while. Only on my phone when ironfox refuses to load for god-knows-why.

The best is pretty subjective and partially relies on what you need.

Keycloak is one of the most feature complete ones I think.

I’ve used authelia before and liked it, but it had a very bare UI and everything was done through config files which forced redeploys on changes. It wasn’t ideal for me.

I’m currently trying out voidauth. It’s got some more Ui features compared to authelia and can apparently also simulate some Active Directory queries to forward your users to third party tools for provisioning ( unless I saw that wrong, I haven’t tested any yet ).

Authentik looked nice, but I haven’t gotten around to checking that one out yet.

Emails you can use email aliases ( addy.io, Firefox relay, port87, simplelogin, … ).

I have no solution for a phone. You could get an extra sim purely for this and just let it expire ( and unplug it ) when you’ve got a job?
