Yeah, I use Authentik currently and the main reason is simplicity of having it with LDAP. But I’ve considered running something else backed by FreeIPA to get more compatibility for LDAP. I feel like I have to fight to get something to work with it.
But it has some high overhead for sure.

I will make an issue for adding SQLite support, it has been on my mind for the same reasons. I would say don’t let the Postgres requirement stop you from trying it out. Modern hardware really doesn’t mind having multiple containerized postgresdb instances running, it can be very lightweight when idle.

Tbo, not using a tool because it only uses postgres sounds strange to me.

It does mean a form of provider lock-in, which is or can be its own issue. Also, while PostgreSQL is one of the best database engines out there among the FOSS stuff, it is verifiably and vastly overblown for stuff like “store a name and a email”, and I at least am not aware of any sort of “Postgres Lite” engines else I’d be using them at work.

How does it lock you in? You, the admin, has full control over postgres. Sqlite has no security features. Sqlite also locks the database which is usually OK if there are no concurrent jobs. But for such services it sounds like a bad idea to use sqlite. (I am no server/app dev)
