I’m currently comparing Authentik and Authelia. For me, Authentik was extremely easy to get into. Authelia with its text-based configuration is clearly not as easy for beginners.

After recently trying Authelia I gave up and moved to Authentik. Very much appreciate the all in one functionality of it. The company even paid a YouTuber to make a bunch of useful step by step tutorials and they have been invaluable. They also have a number of SSO integration instructions for various software. I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re in the market for an easy enough self hosted SSO and proxy password system.

On the other hand I value Authelia single configuration file which I can version control in git. Authentik is a click-ops burden.

Or the fact it consumes like 30mb of ram compared to authentiks near 1GB.

Authentic has blueprints, which while not as simple as Authelia’s config, do provide a functional way to have version-controlled configuration.

I’ve been running SWAG and many other text config services for many years now so that is not the issue. I just couldn’t find the information I needed to get everything working the way I wanted. I will agree with the reply below that the interface isn’t a plus for me. But the documentation is very good. To the point where I was always able to find how to do what I wanted.

Started with authelia. True, the learning curve might be steeper but for such a critical security wise component, well worth to invest into.
Simply love authelia so far. Documentation is great and detailed, but you need to study and understand.
Honestly, well worth it. I wouldn’t go quick on something like that just to install it faster then risk some breach.
