Self-Hosting Authentik: Add Real SSO to Your Homelab

Hey,

Running a homelab with 5+ self-hosted apps and tired of managing separate logins for each one? Today we published a full walkthrough on setting up Authentik — an open-source identity provider that brings proper SSO, OAuth2, SAML, and MFA to your entire stack.

  • Docker Compose setup with PostgreSQL and Redis

  • Enforcing TOTP and WebAuthn MFA globally or per-application
  • Backup strategy and upgrade process
