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.

I've experimented with Authentik and Authelia, but not enough or with adequate sec expertise to feel confident in either of them or other hostable auth applications.

Would anyone mind selling me in a particular direction and explaining why they prefer one service vs. another?

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.
