  I’ve not looked for an LDAP solution but stuff like this is why i went with authentik over other solutions. Because authentik has LDAP built in, i can use this when needed (jellyfin) but then use openid for other apps (which us superior in almost every way for home lab use)

    For webapp stuff for sure, but when you want to login as the same user with the same perms across all your VMS and baremetal servers at the os, it’s nice.

    I use virtualization over containerization because i have the hardware resource so I might as well take advantage of improved isolation and security VMS provide. Plus I use Linux on my desktop/laptop, and have a separate dedicated storage host.

    Its nice to have everything managed by one service with global accounts and permissions.

    Looking at authentik it seems to provide some but not all of that. Def something to keep an eye on if freeipa decides to stop being so free.

      Authentik handles SSO for all my apps like immich, linkwarden, owncloud etc. Jellyfin uses LDAP via authentik but isn’t sso.

      Other than me, no one else mounts samba shares directly. All personal files are synced to server and other devices with owncloud (OCIS).
