I'm interested in running a service like homarr. This would give my family access to view stuff easily, and I could link to the rest of my services. My main concern is linking jellyseerr, and giving what could be strangers access to make requests.

Is anyone out there using a home screen with seerr capability? How is it working for you?

AFAIK you can set up Jellyseer to not act on requests from new users without your approval

Also, doesn't it require a login?

Put Jellyseer behind something like Authentik

How is Authentik? Do you like it? Are their feature set currently available to all? I’m using FusionAuth and really like the setup/workflow, but they’re keeping WebAuthN behind paywall and I’d rather not pay so much for just myself and my family.

@chiisana @ech0 I used Authentik for a good while last year. I really did like it and appreciated a web UI, but there were a couple services I couldn’t get to work with it. That may have been solved by now.

I ended up going back to Authelia and haven’t looked back. Plus the devs in discord are super super responsive which helped me solve some config options. No web ui, but I’ve come to like it now. Keeps me focused on the essentials. 🤣

I’m skipping over Authelia. Social federation is important for me because I do not want to deal with password (see also the WebAuthN bit). Last thing I want is trying to maintain and keep up-to-date a separate service that’s supposed to keep my other services secure, but becoming a single point of failure for my password(s) (so same goes with no self hosting password manager).

Do you mind touching on the integration issues you mentioned? What was the problem, and what were the side effect as result of it?

[–] notnorm@fosstodon.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@chiisana Yeah that’s fair. I don’t use social federation at all but I could see why that would be an issue with Authelia.

Let me look back through my notes on why I ended up turning away from Authentik. It was likely super niche and specific but I’ll share what I can.

I finally just deployed it as a test. So far so good. Was able to setup a WebAuthN only flow, so passwordless as I hoped, but the flow isn’t as smooth as FusionAuth’s social flow. Authentik seems to have each stage as an individual page, so lots of full page refreshes as opposed to just click redirect redirect and done. I’ll be toying around a bit more and see which one I end up settling with.
