Re-Writing my website to support Authentik! atelle

Today, I re-wrote my website to support Authentik as the new way of logging in. Since there is no registration, Authentik makes it easier for me to log in.

What is Authentik?

Authentik is an open-source identity provider that offers authentication and authorization for applications. It supports a variety of authentication methods, including Single Sign-On (SSO), OpenID Connect, and LDAP. Authentik is a great tool for centralizing user authentication while maintaining security and flexibility.

Why I Chose Authentik

I have implemented Authentik into many of the services I use in my HomeLab. It provides a seamless authentication experience, allowing me to manage access to my services from a single platform. By integrating it into my website, I can now log in securely using my existing Authentik setup, eliminating the need for separate login credentials.

Implementation Details

The integration process involved configuring Authentik as an identity provider for my website. Since my website does not allow public registration, using Authentik simplifies authentication for me. The implementation included:

Setting up an OpenID Connect provider in Authentik.
Configuring my website to authenticate users through Authentik.
Ensuring proper role-based access control for different services.

Benefits of Using Authentik

Centralized Authentication: One login for multiple services.
Improved Security: Supports 2FA, LDAP, and other security measures.
Ease of Use: No need to manage separate login systems.

Integrating Authentik has significantly improved how I access my self-hosted services. Moving forward, I plan to refine the setup further and explore additional features that Authentik offers. If you’re looking for a flexible authentication solution for your projects, I highly recommend giving Authentik a try!
